"I am wondering if we could add a new social icon (Logos) to the mix. This is the social site for astrophysicists who have published papers.
Thanks!

I think we can probably add a new icon, but could I get more information about the site first? Is the site in question https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/? I don't see anything called 'Logos' on that page, but the logo on the page looks similar to what I see in the screenshot from the user. And the word "Logos" makes it a bit hard to google :-D

Yes, he confirms the site in question is https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/

Thanks for the confirmation. A couple follow-up questions.
- Our existing interface uses black-and-white SVGs, but the only SVGs I can find on this website are https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/help/img/bbb_assets/transparent_logo.svg and those at https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/help/logos/. I don't know what kind of work it would take to convert them - it's outside our normal field of expertise to go designing new logos for services.
- I see a notice at the top of the site: " Our powerful sister platform, SciX, has launched on September 29, 2025 - please come check it out! It is like ADS but better. " Does this mean that ADS is, in fact, going away in favor of SciX? If so, do we want the latter social icon instead?

He replies "I believe that SciX will be an expanded version of ADS… for more than just astrophysics. I suspect that ADS will not go away as it is now some 35 years old."

I respond " So it would be your preference that we create a button for that? There's a complication - "Our existing interface uses black-and-white SVGs, but the only SVGs I can find on this website are https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/help/img/bbb_assets/transparent_logo.svg and those at https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/help/logos/.
