In my plugins cmakelists config, I have

```auto
        ICON_BIG ${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/resources/logo-circle.svg # ICON_* arguments specify a path to an image file to use as an icon for the Standalone
        ICON_SMALL ${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/resources/logo-circle.svg

```

should this work?  
i.e. does juce support svg icons  
it seems to work sometimes, but then I get reports of a blank icon like this:

I seem to get a valid .ico file generated at: `plugin\cmake-build-debug\plugin_artefacts\JuceLibraryCode\icon.ico`

Did you add that as binary data, something like…

```auto
juce_add_binary_data("${BaseTargetName}_Assets" SOURCES img/icon.png)

```

Does that translate to  
`juce_add_binary_data("${PLUGIN_TARGET_NAME}_Assets" SOURCES ${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/resources/logo-circle.svg)`?

Not sure if SVG would work. Try using a PNG.
