Re-tracking work that was left outstanding when issue #1 was closed. BRANDING_CHANGES.md's "Logo assets (TODO)" section flagged: favicon PNG set (still Mattermost compass), apple-touch-icon set, android-chrome icon, api/v4/html/static/favicon.ico, and the animated compass-needle loading-screen spinner in initial_loading_screen_template.html (visible on every page load before React hydrates -- this is what showed on the login page).

Blocked on NCW/Slash SVG assets from the Branding Kit, which are now available (logos/slash-logo-transparent.svg).

Fix in progress on branch branding/favicon-regen.

Verified complete 2026-08-04 — closing.

Both parts of this issue shipped:

  • Favicons: regenerated from the NCW Branding Kit Slash mark, commit 16ff32457b ("Replace remaining Mattermost logo assets with Slash branding") — full set incl. default/mentions/unread variants + apple-touch + android-chrome + api/v4/html/static/favicon.ico.
  • Loading-screen compass: widgets/icons/mattermost_logo.tsx no longer renders Mattermost's compass; it now imports images/slash-logo-circle.png (the Slash circle logo). That one component change also cleared the compass from the About dialog, app-linking page, and admin system notices.

Verified against slash/main directly (blob present: webapp/channels/src/images/slash-logo-circle.png).

Note: a separate, newly-found production bug about slash-site-logo.png 404ing is filed on its own — not part of this issue.
