I had a discussion with some members of EJPRD who wanted to add some resources to bio.tools and they would like to have the possibility to store the tool logo somewhere in bio.tools so they can retrieve it and display it on their own website.

In regards to the biotoolsSchema we have a downloadType == "Icon" with the definition Icon of the software..
I am not sure if this refers to a favicon for a website or to an actual logo.

If it the intended use was for a logo then we should change the value of Icon to Logo, it makes more sense and there are no tools that are actually annotated with Icon download type. We can keep both in the beginning and phase out the Icon one.

If the intended use was for a favicon , like you see in the tabs of webpages, then we should rename it to Favicon and additionally add a Logo download type.

Thanks
