Provide pesde branding and icons for readmes or websites #29

Description

Shields.io, a service for concise, consistent, and legible badges in SVG and raster format, which can easily be included in GitHub readmes or any other web page. The service supports dozens of continuous integration services, package registries, distributions, app stores, social networks, code coverage services, and code analysis services. Every month it serves over 1.6 billion images and is used by some of the world's most popular open-source projects, VS Code, Vue.js and Bootstrap to name a few.

Currently there is no simple way to display pesde's icon on a custom badge. Shields.io uses a project called "Simple Icons":

logo: string
Icon slug from simple-icons. You can click the icon title on simple-icons to copy the slug or they can be found in the slugs.md file in the simple-icons repository. Further info.
Example: appveyor

I believe that pesde can be recognized better amongst developers if there was a better way to display its brand on the web. There are many solutions to this problem. My suggestion is to use shields.io and open a request to simple icons for adding the brand to their library. Any alternative is welcome and appreciated, though.

Currently a workaround would be encoding the logo as base64. Here are some examples that you can use, feel free to play around in the editor:

pesde

pesde

This is a "dynamic json badge". It simply fetches the latest version of a given package from the pesde registry. I made a small revision to the original post and fixed the broken link. It properly forwards you to the package on the pesde website.

If you check the raw markdown of this issue you will quickly notice how large these links are. That's because we are encoding the logo's data into the link. That's pretty much everything I wanted to suggest. The process of requesting a missing brand on simple icons is not very convenient. It requires you to provide a "popularity metric". I don't know or have possession of such data. I am hoping that someone with access to such analytics can help.
