[Tex/LaTex] Overleaf logo command (like \LaTeX)

logosmacrosoverleaf

I would like to make a command \overleaf which prints the Overleaf logo, just like \LaTeX prints the LaTeX logo. Here is a \link to the Overleaf logo.
The link includes several examples of the logo and several formats, including SVG, PNG, EPS, and TIFF.

I presume it is necessary to use an image of the logo to make the command? However, I think it would be best if it has the same color as the text (If the text is red, the logo is red; if the text is black, the logo is black.)

Anyone who can help me get started?

I send Overleaf a message, asking them for such a command/ or permission to create one. This is the response:

The example Dan send me was:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{academicons}
\usepackage{url}
\title{academic icons}
\author{Dan (Overleaf Support) MacKinnon}
\date{November 2019}

\begin{document}


\maketitle


{\large \url{dan.mackinnon@overleaf.com} \aiOverleaf}

{\large \url{https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7049-6927} \aiOrcid}


\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] How to achieve this Beamer style

I defined a footline template inspired by the one used by the infolines outer theme, containing the required fields. The new template is called myfootline and you activate it by using

\setbeamertemplate{footline}[myfootline]

The code:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme[]{Berlin}
\usecolortheme{beaver}  % red color

\makeatletter
\defbeamertemplate*{footline}{myfootline}
{
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor\expandafter\beamer@ifempty\expandafter{\beamer@shortinstitute}{}{~~\insertshortinstitute}
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,right]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{date in head/foot}\insertshortdate{}\hspace*{2em}
    \insertframenumber{} / \inserttotalframenumber\hspace*{2ex} 
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}
\makeatother
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[myfootline]

\title{The title}
\author[The author (author@tex.sx)]{The author \\\href{mailto:author@tex.sx}{author@tex.sx}}
\institute{The Institution}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\maketitle
\end{frame}

\section{A test section}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{A test frame title}
test
\end{frame}

\end{document}

And a close-up to the footline:

enter image description here

Since the footline now has too much information, perhaps you'll need to adjust the width of the beamercolorboxes used in the template.

As for question 2, I think it is not really on-topic here since it concerns a problem related to specifics of image formats manipulation and not to (La)TeX itself. However, in our sister site Graphic Design you can find some answers to this question; see, for example Add transparency to an existing PNG or Making the background of an image transparent.

[Tex/LaTex] Metropolis theme [beamer], changing the background of logo in the title page

The .eps file you linked to is no true vector graphic but simply has an image included. Thus the quality will not get any worse if you simply remove the white background from the logo, e.g. with gimp. The resulting image:

This logo can be included as usual (I added keepaspectratio to not distort the image):

\documentclass[10pt]{beamer}
\usetheme[subsectionpage=progressbar,background=light]{metropolis}

\titlegraphic{%
  \includegraphics[width=.2\textwidth]{example-image-a}\hfill
  \includegraphics[width=3cm,height=1.6cm,keepaspectratio]{mJeal}\hfill
  \includegraphics[width=.2\textwidth]{example-image-b}

}
