Description

There original WSL penguin logo head you can find at
https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9p9tqf7mrm4r
or more specific at
https://store-images.s-microsoft.com/image/apps.61786.14131597032361940.38d2a067-3798-455f-934a-f69935156b3d.eb49d3ac-e311-4e6f-b89b-f1fe8db9d73b?h=380
This is a image in raster graphic.

At the end of the microsoft documentation sides like
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about
you will find it in svg
https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/wsl/media/wsl-icon.svg
But that is only black/white and so it looks more like a men with a helmet.

What is missing is a color SVG logo.
I have tried to modify the b/w icon a bit. But not with much success.
![wsl-icon-color](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/assets/8337032/772ac52d-5545-499b-9896-c3f622b9c443)

And here is an auto-generated one by
https://png2svg.com/
![Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux_logo](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/assets/8337032/26634eda-267c-4ed7-aae6-96f3efa6f839)

It looks nice, but it is too big and you see, that it is auto-generated.

So there is missing a color logo of WSL in vector graphic

Research direction

Review the existing black-and-white SVG at the Microsoft WSL documentation link and compare it with the linked raster logo references. Done means producing a polished, accurately colored WSL penguin logo in vector SVG form rather than an auto-generated conversion.
