Design: refine favicon into a polished SVG mark #69

Description

@simonives

Problem

The current favicon uses the Φ character rendered as text. At 16×16 and 32×32 pixels, text characters rarely render with the crispness of a purpose-built SVG mark. A personal brand site at this level warrants a properly constructed favicon.

Solution

Design and implement an SVG favicon based on the Φ mark:

  • SVG source at a clean resolution, optimised for small sizes
  • Exported at: 16×16 (.ico or .png), 32×32 (.png), 180×180 (Apple touch icon)
  • Aurum (#C4962A) on Midnight (#1D1832) — consistent with the brand's dark surface treatment
  • <link rel="icon"> and <link rel="apple-touch-icon"> updated on all pages

The mark should be clean and geometric — a refined version of the Φ, not a stylised logo. The character itself is already correct; the improvement is in execution quality at small sizes.

Acceptance criteria

  • Favicon renders crisply at 16×16 in browser tab
  • Apple touch icon displays correctly when page is saved to home screen
  • All HTML pages reference the updated favicon files
  • Existing favicon files replaced (do not leave orphans in the repository)
