Words about colour: I forgot to mention this #4CBD89 colour on logo2. Okay, i admit it: I keep hesitating over colours. That one comes from the current top nav bar appearing when you scroll down... Just another suggestion here. But i think that if you go with a theme that comes with a different colour, then the logo colour should be changed accordingly. So, i just "colorpicked" this from your Wizixo theme. MintLeaf, #00B894, is another great possibility.

I think the text to path conversion is a good solution for the logo!

One thing that could be improved: The files in this PR are stored as Inkscape SVG format, which contains editor specific data. For web you could use the Optimized SVG file format in Inkscape > Save, to remove metadata, comments and disable pretty-printing (see options dialog).

For e.g. logo-mono.svg this would reduce the file size from 11.2kB to 5.9kB.

@whelmich Yes ! Thanks for the advice. I saw this increase in file size and was not totally comfortable with it. This is better. I just did a quick test, with all the default settings: 11.2 kB -> 6.4 kB. The origin logo, made of Ubuntu font, weighted 6.8 kB. So, converting to path and saving as Optimized SVG makes this logo both universal AND lightweight.

But right now i am facing broader perspectives. There is a separate discussion going on about a possible new version. Some re-design. And maybe some colour change. I don't know what i will do. I think there will be a separate, new repository on GitHub: linuxmint/logo.

So, we will probably work on the logo somewhere else, and not care about file size at this time. But i should have this converting to path and saving as Optimized SVG written in the README.md on the linuxmint/logo on GitHub. Just to ensure i don't forget to do these converts on the final steps... And then, finally update this PR here... Right now, this PR is "frozen".
