Ok, so I'm backing off. It was pretentious to me to think that my
modifications to the logo would be easier to approve than yours :)

I push --force (yeah!) a new version of the branch to origin without
these changes.

Yeap. As a workflow recommendation, it's good to always be careful about
what kind of changes can be controversial (hint: logo!), and keep an eye
on which branch is blocking which. Here for example you could probably
have move the more controversial (and not strictly necessary for the
donation campaign) changes in a separate branch.

CSS is notoriously painful to work with in the project because nobody
likes it, our CSS are super messy, ikiwiki is crap in this regard, etc.
It's shitty, I know...

I'm backing off of this proposal, so I'll instead move these comments of
yours out to #14835 (and away from the donation campaign) and will work
on this more "at some point".

Still, I made a commit on top of your branch to remove the subtitle in
your logo_mobile.png which was the image that I found problematic and
that ignited the ground. After starting the discussion on #14835, I
understand that removing the subtitle in the banner is not very
controversial, so doing this on the mobile version for now is, I
believe, the minimal change that we can do to fix the original issue you
raised, and at the same time, avoid having too many versions of the logo
proliferate, and not introduce too small text.

Again, if this proposal is controversial for you, please ignore it and
merge your branch as of fd6c6b2d86 as soon as you want.

My modification was only on the logo and the Farsi bug was already
present in your branch (at least on my machine).

Maybe that's it! Anyway, if you don't see it on your machine and since
it's a minor detail I think we can skip that and see what happens once
this branch is merged ;)
