Problem

Updates the Allen Institute logo and related branding/text around the repo.

Estimated review size: tiny, 5-10 minutes

Solution

  • Updates the Allen Institute / cell science logo in the header.
  • Updates references to the "Allen Institute for Cell Science" to "the cell science accelerator at the Allen Institute."
  • Updated the favicon.

Steps to Verify:

  1. Open PR preview: https://allencell.github.io/cell-feature-explorer/pr-preview/pr-317/
  2. Observe new logos in header bar and tab icon.

Screenshots (optional):

Not sure if we should use a different color for CFE...

Given that Vol-E and CFE both share a color scheme, and given that CFE contains Vol-E inside it, I think it's okay if they share similar branding too.

Is there much point in identifying that this is a cell science project specifically here? I suppose we might not want to imply this is an all-Allen code, but when it appears in a document like this it feels like we're just identifying which department of a company built a product.

Changed it, though I'll note that we've been using this language across our other viewers.

Fwiw the OG preview of Vol-E includes the phrase "Allen Institute, Cell Science" twice. I don't know which field provides this text — website title? Author? Regardless, consider checking for consistency, and consider considering that "Allen Institute, Cell Science" may be a valid alternative phrasing option for anywhere "the cell science accelerator at the Allen Institute" is too unwieldy.

On Vol-E, I think both are being set by the og:site_name property. Not sure why it's appearing twice, though.
