Description

related #287 #2689

for no obvious reason, the "black" matrix logo is actually only very dark grey
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix.org/blob/main/static/images/matrix-logo.svg?short_path=e458d1d#L2

this appears to be an oversight. @ara4n confirmed that the original kept at https://github.com/element-hq/logos/blob/master/matrix/matrix-logo.svg (which is #000 black) is the canonical one. the original matrix.org homepage from december 2014 as snapshot on archive.org corroborates the use of a #000 black logo.

we might look out for further graphics not being properly black, including derivatives of this file.

Research direction

Start with static/images/matrix-logo.svg and compare it with the canonical matrix-logo.svg in the linked Element logos repository. Confirm the logo color and inspect related graphics for the same issue; done means the Matrix logo uses #000 black and any clearly affected derivatives are corrected.
