PR-F emails · logo dark-mode fix

The logo needs to survive Gmail dark mode

Gmail's app ignores the @media dark swap and darkens the white card while leaving the logo image untouched — so a black lockup vanishes. Fix: give the logo its own dark treatment with the white lockup, visible in both modes (no media query). Pick a style.

Left = normal (light) inbox · Right = how Gmail renders it in dark mode.

Today — black lockup on the card (what you saw)

Fine in light; invisible once Gmail darkens the card.

✗ black logo ≈ invisible on the darkened card

Option A — dark header band (white lockup)

A full-width dark strip at the top. Classic, unambiguous, reads as intentional in both modes. Recommended.

✓ white logo on a band that stays dark → visible

Option B — compact dark logo badge

A small rounded dark badge, top-left — more app-like, lighter footprint on the card.

Why not just recolor the logo? A periwinkle-accent logo would also read on both, but I have no image tooling on this box to recolor the PNG, and it spends the one accent on every email. The dark treatment uses the existing lockup-white.png (the same asset the portal sidebar/login already use on dark) — zero new assets, and it's immune to Gmail's inversion because it doesn't depend on a media query.

Tell me A or B (or tweak) and I'll ship it as a fast-follow + re-verify with a real send.
