Thanks for helping, it's nice when people open PRs instead of making issues. Gives us time to work on the more major facelifts!
That image is not a SVG, it's an embedded PNG file. We also like SVG images to be optimized
To optimize an SVG image add it to a new canvas. Make the image 128x128px then export like so. Make sure the longest side is also 128px, and align to center/middle. In this case your icon looks square so it should fit in 128x128.
@dngray Ah, I used an online tool to "convert" the PNG to an SVG since I don't have a vector graphic. Any suggestions on a tool that would create a true SVG by tracing the edges? Or a way to easily create an SVG from scratch? If not I will look into it soon and figure something out.
Yes. Inkscape https://inkscape.org/
Whew, that was quite the journey. I tried a lot of different tools but the only one I had success with for generating an auto traced SVG was https://vectorizer.io, a free tool (Inkscape's auto trace in 1.0 beta was broken for me when I tried it on a Mac). I then exported it as an optimized SVG in Inkscape using the settings you recommended above. I rebuilt the Jekyll site and it still looks good to me (see screenshot below).
Thanks for the help! Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanky you @szTheory ! Im currently on my phone so i can't give it proper review, i will do so on my laptop either tonight or tommorow morning! :)
I assume you don't have the original artwork in vector format? If not, we might try re-creating it manually. I guess the benefit would be you'd then have a vector image.
Of course you'd want to then update the usage everywhere to use the same picture.
The problem with tracing tools is they're not perfect and lead to ugly lines:
This leads to very large SVG images, eg this SVG is 78kb when compared to others under 10Kb as it contains a lot of useless data.
This logo is fairly basic, made up of simple geometric shapes, of simple colors so it would have been easier to re-create it.
Sorry yeah I don't have the original vector and I don't know how to use vector art tools. Even though I know Photoshop, looking at Inkscape or Illustrator always confuses me and I don't even know where to begin when I open those programs up. So I'd have to run through a video tutorial series or something to learn how to trace the lines and do the fills. I'm sure it would be manageable, just another thing to do. Maybe I can even find a website for a graphic designer to do it for me.
We've put our master designer @dawidpotocki on this, and I think he might have come up with something...
There you go:
Nice, thanks!
Nice work @dawidpotocki
lgtm, good work guys!
@dawidpotocki Thank you so much, it looks great!
