#15: Agile / Epic: Website Refresh / 📋 Product Backlog
Status: Ready
Start: Aug 9, 2027 Due: Aug 13, 2027
Tag: Sprint 1 Chore
Assignees: Katherine Newman

Note on type

This is a Chore, not a user story. No user asked for a new logo, and forcing it into "As a user, I want…" form would be theater. It still takes real effort, so it is sized — see section 4 of How to use this Agile template on when to skip the story form.

Scope

  • Primary logo, plus horizontal and icon-only variants
  • Light and dark backgrounds
  • Core palette locked and documented

Proposed palette

  • #c2f4b2
  • #0a034e
  • #70b1ec

Acceptance criteria

  • SVG and PNG exports at all required sizes, including favicon and app icon
  • Legible at 16px and at billboard scale
  • Contrast passes WCAG AA against both background modes
  • Palette documented with hex, RGB, and usage rules
  • Signed off by the Product Owner before Design new homepage consumes it

Dependency

Design and build the new homepage needs this finished first. That is why it lands mid-sprint rather than at the end.
