Description

Describe the Issue

The pencil outline icon isn't actually an outline, it looks filled. Also if this icon is small it just looks like a diagonal line.

Expected Behavior

Can you make it more like a chunky pencil? Then you might be able to get a proper outlined version and more visible as a pencil as a small icon then a diagonal line.

Same goes for the company logos, these doesn't appear to have an outlined version

Research direction
Start by locating the pencil icon SVG file in the repository (likely under the 'svg' directory). Examine other outline icons to understand the visual style. Modify the SVG path to create a chunky outline that remains recognizable at small sizes. For the company logos mentioned, check if an outlined version exists or if a new one needs to be designed. Review the existing contribution guidelines for file structure and naming conventions.
