Usage of shields.io logos

I'm curious about why certain logos are used in certain places. On the README and on the status/uptime page, this logo is used:

On the website, this one is used:

And the shields organization profile picture uses this slightly different one:

There is not really any system to it.

There probably should be, but there isn't.

Is there any interest in switching to the new website one? It's the nicest looking of the three and is more recognizable than the others.

I think there are cases where it is useful to have a "wide" logo, rather than a "square" one, or cases where one with text on it is useful.

at the top of the README would look weird

would look bad as an "avatar"

More widely than that, I've never really put much thought into logos. The two (three?) logos that exist for shields existed before I first got involved with the project in 2017 and I don't think we've ever really reviewed them or put much thought into what we use where or if they are any good. It is not a topic I have particularly strong views on.
