[DESIGN]: Inconsistent interaction affordance between Adopted Brands and Sponsors logo sections

[Prajwalwho]

Describe the Issue

While going through the homepage, I noticed something that felt a bit inconsistent in terms of interaction between the two logo sections.

1. In the “Adopted by the world leading brands” section, the logos change from grayscale to color when hovered. This makes them feel interactive, but they aren’t actually clickable.

2. On the other hand, in the Sponsors section, the logos are clickable and link externally, but they look mostly static and don’t provide much hover feedback.

Because of this, the interaction signals feel slightly mixed:
--Some elements look clickable but aren’t.
--Some elements are clickable but don’t clearly indicate that they are.

From a UX point of view, this might create a small moment of confusion, since users usually associate hover transitions with clickable elements.

Expected Outcome

Align the interaction affordance across both sections for consistency. Possible directions could include:
--Removing hover effects from non-clickable logos in the “Adopted brands” section, or
--Making those logos clickable (if aligned with project intent), or
--Adding subtle hover feedback (e.g., scale/brightness transition) to clickable sponsor logos.

The goal is to ensure visual feedback accurately reflects interaction behavior.

I’d be happy to help implement a solution once the preferred direction is clarified.
