[FOSS4G-UK] [External] Re: Logo

[Barry Rowlingson]

No, don't change the SVG - you should scale it with CSS - and if you use
percentages it should scale with the page layout for mobile etc, although
maybe there's a separate stylesheet for mobile...

If I set width: 100% on the <object> then it fills the column, for example.
