## Definitions

### `tech.waow.brand.getIcon`

**Type**: `query`

The icon for a namespace, as an image. Unlike getBrand this returns bytes, so the endpoint URL can be used directly as an <img> src with no client code. Always succeeds for a well-formed namespace or identity, falling back to a generated monogram. The X-Brand-Source header carries the provenance getBrand would have reported. Does not require auth; results are not personalized.

#### Parameters

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `namespace` | `string` | Yes | A namespace, NSID, handle or DID to resolve. A namespace is reverse-DNS ('fm.plyr.song'); a handle is not ('plyr.fm'). Both are accepted and are distinguished exactly, since a namespace cannot resolve as an identity. |

#### Output

**Encoding**: `*/*`

#### Errors

- **InvalidNamespace**
