@LGoto, @JTannerWMF this doesn't look like a bug per se, as the logo is a transparent PNG. The issue would also happen if we were in light mode and the logo happened to have white text on a transparent background. Is there a chance we can reach out to the community and have them add an actual background to the image?

But this would make a white picture show instead, which is not very nice too. Besides I think transparent background was always kinda preferable for certain kinds of images.

Is it possible to somehow detect when this would happen for an image and add some generic light background?
