GitLab | Improvement: Logo of the Prequalification group is not optimal (#91)

[Christian Mauderer (@c-mauderer)]

The following issue is due on 2025-02-12:

Issue 91: <a href="https://gitlab.rtems.org/administration/gitlab/-/issues/91">#91</a>
Author:    Christian Mauderer
Assignee: Amar Takhar

The logo for the https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/prequal group is not optimal from my point of view:

- It has a bit of a negative connotation.
- It is much more complex than most other logos.
- It seems to be public domain in the US. But I'm not sure about other countries. For example in Germany the copyright is death of the author + 70 years. So in theory there could still be copyright on the image if the author lived long enough.

Assumed source for the current logo: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Headscratcher.png

Maybe alternatives could be:

- "Verified" Icon from the Google fonts: https://fonts.google.com/icons?selected=Material+Symbols+Outlined:verified:FILL@0;wght@400;GRAD@0;opsz@24&icon.query=approve&icon.size=24&icon.color=%235f6368
  * According to the FAQ useable for private and commercial projects
  * Very simple shape (good match for some of the other icons)
- I put together an alternative icon in the RTEMS colors: https://gist.github.com/c-mauderer/528f59e7f7b4e9f059f01c9a53f3abfd
  - I created that myself. So license would be no problem. I can add any license that would be useable for the RTEMS project (for example CC0).

PS: I'm not 100% sure whether this is the right group for this issue. But the logos are set up by the gitlab administrators, so I hope it's not completely wrong.
