At the moment branding is an undocumented feature. We get a bunch of support tickets from teams asking its possible. This commit: - lets people know it’s possible, and what the options are - is the first step towards making this process as self-service as possible In some cases we will be able to infer a user’s organisation from there email address, and Google image search their logo. So the experience for them is that they press a button and government just sorts it out for you (also known as "the dream"). In other cases we will have to get back to people asking for a copy of their logo, or to find out about their service, but this is what we have to do at the moment anyway.
