Editing the colour of basic logos

On JuicyFields, the logo is extremely faint in light mode. Would I be able to edit it to make it black? ✶Quxyz✶ 21:22, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Use of logos in infoboxes and articles

I do not think trade mark law ought to affect what we put in a Wikipedia article (either in the infobox or the body of an article. Trade mark law is designed to protect the company's sales and prevent passing off. Wikipedia is not producing or selling a cola style of drink or a type of beer. It should be possible to include different versions of the Coca Cola logo or the Bass red triangle.. Copyright however is a different matter. We may be prevented from using a copyrighted mark which is still protected everywhere.in the article. This has an unfortunate effect. A company might agree to use of a current logo but not one used in the 1980s. The company may want to put forward a "modern" image. Wikipedia is more concerned about the general history of the company and its effect on the world. There might be an article on the use and design of company or brand logos in general and their history and we should not be bound by the company's views. Nevertheless we ought to reflect all versions of the "brand" from say Heinz in the 19th Century to the same brand in the 2020s. A history of company design is as important as the types of product it has produced over the years. I agree if different logos are pictured they should be referred to in the text or at the very least in the captions.
