The Ryder theme supports two logo styles: a text mark (the default) and a custom image. Both are configured entirely in hugo.toml — no template edits required.

How icons work in this theme

The theme uses Font Awesome with tree-shaking — only the icons explicitly imported in assets/js/main.js are included in the JavaScript bundle. If you use an icon class in front matter or a template and it hasn’t been imported, Font Awesome renders a warning placeholder icon instead.

Background

Written in Go, Hugo is an open source static site generator available under the Apache Licence 2.0. Hugo supports TOML, YAML and JSON data file types, Markdown and HTML content files and uses shortcodes to add rich content. Other notable features are taxonomies, multilingual mode, image processing, custom output formats, HTML/CSS/JS minification and support for Sass SCSS workflows.
