[Doc]: logo example should include dark option and have names #25537
Description
Documentation Link
Problem
We now have a dark version that should be in the logo example as a toggle.
The logo example should have "logo_light.svg" and "logo_dark.svg" somewhere in the text so its searchable by the name of the files that get used in the site logo.

Hello @jklymak, I just came across this issue and looked at the links you shared.
Do we want to add a new example altogether to highlight the creation of the dark mode logo too ?
Or should just having textual reference to suggest the existence of a dark themed logo do the trick?

I'd have the example make both logos.

Hello @jklymak , is this what you had in mind?
I have added a new parameter to the make_logo method called 'mode' which can be used to generate 2 different kinds of logo both the "logo_light.svg" and "logo_dark.svg" mainly because the hexcode color for the logo_light.svg was hard coded in the example.
We can incorporte this new example as seen in the screenshot to the matplotlib logo example, if you feel this seems good enough.
