Pay attention when using the Rails logo: http://www.rubyinside.com/david-heinemeier-hansson-says-no-t...

I was going to say this... Any person designing this kind of logo collections should ask first. Legal troubles can arise. Sad but true...

I don't think the responsibility to get legal permission is on the creator of the collection, but on the person using the logo instead.

If the creator is distributing the collection, it's legally her/his responsibility, as well as of everyone who uses it.

That said, fair use applies.

"an iconic font made for developers, code jedis, ninjas, HTTPsters, evangelists and nerds." Urgh. Why do people do this?

I read this as more of a tounge-in-cheek joke about people who do this, but I may be wrong.

They forgot rockstars.

SVG are vector graphics that can be rendered in all modern browsers: http://caniuse.com/#feat=svg-img You do miss out on the recoloring and any other font styling options though.

Actually you can style SVG with CSS #yourSVG { fill: red; stroke: blue; }

mind = blown
