Tracking in openstreetmap/operations#1245.

In [that discussion](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Wiki#Wordmark_in_Vector_New_version), I think we were going for a logo plus a wordmark, so there wasn’t as much need to deface the logo more legibly.

For the social media bar, I wonder if we even need to repeat the OSM logo motif on OSM-internal sites. Maybe we could just use a generic 📝 icon or something for the wiki, 💬 for the forum, etc., in the same stroked style as the 🌐 for unrecognized websites.

> Though the label is just "iki" and the W has a label of "W" which seems quite silly so may something added that automatically?

Huh, that’s cute. Inkscape automatically adds a `<title>` when you convert text to paths, but some other tool might add `aria-title`. I’m not confident that any screen reader will actually do anything with this label, since it’s embedded inside an `<img>` tag (with `osm_wiki` as the alt text).
