I recently had a major rebrand at my place of work and we had to update all our systems to reflect the new logo and primary brand colour. We planned all changes out in advance and it went smoothly overall.

However, one thing that was quite time-consuming was updating the logo on all the different systems we use. The major pain point was the fact that systems differ so much. Some are deployed on bare metal, some in k8 and everyone handles files differently.

A few of the systems supported setting a custom logo via a URL - those were a breeze to update.

Just upload the new logo to our CDN and update the URL in the system. Or - even better - update the logo in the CDN and the user will see the new logo once the cache expires.

I wish more systems would support this. It would make rebranding so much easier and less time-consuming. It also requires fewer permissions to the underlying system and is less error-prone than updating files across many different filesystems/machines/regions.
