likely includes switching to imagemagick for image toolkit, enabling svg in imagemagick module, and updating image fields in content types

[x] determine why Drupal doesn't support SVG
[x] determine how Acquia suggests to handle it.

Drupal doesn't support SVGs on nodes because "By GD (our default image toolkit) does not support SVG. So you cannot generate image styles of them. " https://www.drupal.org/node/2541480

ImageMagick doesn't use Apache's processes, and is installed on all Acquia servers. Acquia recommends ImageMagick over GD library. https://docs.acquia.com/articles/scoping-impact-image-processing

SVG is trying to get to core here. https://www.drupal.org/node/1014816. However this is has security concerns SVG and XSS,https://grepular.com/Scalable_Vector_Graphics_and_XSS

trying to set up imagemagick tool kit and Drupal project:

[ ] install image toolkit brew install imagemagick
[ ] install Drupal Module drush en imagemagick

I ran into issues from here on out (work in progress).

homebrew did not correctly create symlinks. used this to troubleshoot, http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/177594/to-install-brews-imagemagick-and-fix-its-symlink.
