What
Explore explaining how to use the headIcons template option to update image assets in services, rather than copying assets from Frontend and overriding some of the GOV.UK branded ones with local service ones.
Why
A proposed iteration of guidance being worked on as part of alphagov/govuk-design-system#5298.
Potential risk identified in asking users to override assets as it creates an implicit reliance on the form of those assets, rather than users managing it themselves.
