https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/metadata-syntax-for-github-actions#branding

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

  1. branding
    • Update introduction to briefly mention the avatar used by default and explain that you can use branding to override this avatar for actions published from user-owned repositories and for unverified actions published from organization-owned repositories.
  2. About badges in GitHub Marketplace
    • Update to explain that verified actions always display the organization avatar.
    • Mention that for other actions you can override the default icon by updating the action metadata file and link to branding

Additional information

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/publishing-actions-in-github-marketplace#about-badges-in-github-marketplace has pictures that show icons that are obviously not listed in https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/metadata-syntax-for-github-actions#branding but there's nothing that explains how this works.
