The small site logo is broken on several light themes (Default, Material Design, Graceful). Only occurs in desktop.

When attempting to directly access the URL for the image, it is returning an “Access Denied” message.

 ![This image displays a code snippet with HTML markup, including a div element containing a link with an image that serves as a site logo with the text "Discourse Meta". (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/3/7/8/378087cec502f9849c8f6707458ae388a19dcfcc.png)

**Steps for reproduction:**

1. Open Discourse Meta in desktop view
2. Step theme to any light theme (I’ve found Default, Graceful, and Material Design have this issue)
3. Open any topic and scroll down until the page header minimizes the logo.

I experienced this as well, when logged out and using Meta Branded Light mode.
