Monochromatic SVGR icon #706

Closed sisp closed 2 years ago

💬 Questions and Help

I'd like to add SVGR's icon to simpleicons.org which is a collection of high-quality monochromatic SVG icons of popular brands. When attempting to convert SVGR's icon to a monochromatic version, I stumbled over the embedded base64-encoded PNG in the center which is difficult to vectorize and make monochromatic.

What is the source of that PNG and is there also an SVG version (ideally a monochromatic one)?

Hello @sisp, I am afraid I don't have one. The logo is complex and was quickly made.

I see. Would you be open to a revision of the logo? Off the top of my head, I'd find a combination of the React logo and the SVG logo fitting for SVGR, e.g. the SVG logo could be in the center of the React ellipses, or a combination of the two logos similar to React Bootstrap's logo. Or if you like the lion (I believe that's the PNG image), perhaps we could find a vector image of a similar one? What do you think?

Creating a new logo would be great! I love the idea! I will just give you the history of the actual logo:

That's it!

Now the SVGO logo is no longer a tiger, I kind of like the lion but it could be vectorized in some way. I am open to proposals 😁

Thanks for the hints regarding the history of the current logo!

I tried to find the tiger in SVGO's Git history but couldn't find it even many years ago. Do you know a source of the SVGO tiger logo?

It was this one if I remember well. post-985-0-97613600-1391432689
