There seems to me a problem with the current encoding of the forum logo on the discobot certificates.

As I have been [having trouble](https://meta.discourse.org/t/very-slow-discobot-certificate-generation-on-our-server/168547) with the discobot certificates, I had a glance at the svg that is being generated.

This jumped out:

```plaintext
...
    <text x="269.2915" y="240.94" text-anchor="middle" font-size="24" fill="#020403" font-family="Tangerine, Tangerine">
      Mentalstring
    </text>
    &lt;g transform=&quot;translate(242.29149999999998 350)&quot;&gt;
  &lt;image height=&quot;55px&quot; width=&quot;55px&quot; xlink:href=&quot;data:image/png;base64,[LONG BLOB IN HERE]=&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/g&gt;
  </g>
  <g id="Layer_1-2" data-name="Layer 1">
..

```

That seemed encoded when it shouldn’t, so I converted the entities, and got the Discourse logo which was missing:

Here’s the [current certificate](https://meta.discourse.org/t/greetings/95761/43):

And here’s the same svg but with (manually) fixed encoding:
