Where do we find a good SVG editor? That might be the reason the mass hasn't switched to svg.
Adobe Illustrator is the standard.

#112I have been using https://simpleicons.org for a while now. It is super light and looks great. License is CC0. Although I prefer inlining the icons over using tags.
What’s with the random (wrong) colors for most - but not all - of the icons?

Is there an easy way to generate SVG icons from image files (.png, .jpg, etc.)? Or are each of these SVG icons created by hand?
ImageTracer is a simple raster image tracer and vectorizer that outputs SVG, 100% free, Public Domain.
Available in JavaScript (works both in the browser and with Node.js), "desktop" Java and "Android" Java:

You can use svgo to optimize the SVG afterwards: https://github.com/svg/svgo

#114A lot of these are logos that I had assumed to be registered trademarks. As such, they would only be usable under the terms of a licensing agreement with the owning company, terms which I had assumed would be pretty anal-retentive regarding the exact details of the representation. IIRC, Facebook has a specific art package with specific image files that one is suppose to use, and no other. On the one hand, this is pre…
What you have said is simultaneously completely true and totally pointless.
Yeah, we all know that brands have tediously anal rules about usage of their logos in particular. In practice, so long as you aren’t obviously abusing it, nobody is going to care. Have you seen some of the stuff what people do with social media logos??

#117When most webpages have a megabyte or more of javascript libraries, having a 20kb twitter icon which is probably cached doesn't sound bad really.

Cool resource, what do the color codes mean? All the icons seem to be in black when you download them. I've never seen a CC0 license before, looking it up, but if anyone knows what its about, feel free to share! Here is a resource of svgs of cryptocurrency icons: https://github.com/allienworks/cryptocoins/tree/master/SVG
CC0 is Creative Commons's license for dedication to the public domain: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
The point of CC0 is that in countries (like the US) with the concept of releasing works into the public domain—relinquishing all copyright claims on the work, that's what you are doing with CC0.
In countries where you can't legally release works into the public domain, CC0 is a license that tries to do as much as it can through a license in those countries.

#119At what point does using a vector SVG is worse than raster image? Level of image complexit, requiring a ton of path elements? the Twitter logo can be create in basically 2 path elements. What if my logo is much more complex? Is there a threshold at the complexity of my image results in an SVG payload > than a properly compressed raster image?
That's my issue with the svg reflex, re-rendering complex geometry is more demanding than byte copy. That said https://edent.github.io/SuperTinyIcons/tiny/twitter.svg is really really really simple. I had no idea svg.fill could encode such things, and expected a bad mix of overlapping ovals to create the illustration. Not bad

It seems like one of the most permissive licenses, is it taking over MIT?
CC0 reverts to "Public Domain" in countries/jurisdictions where this is a thing. When this is not possibly it tries to legally define the closest thing possible.
"Public Domain" in particular means that the author distances themselves entirely from the work and all the rights pertaining to it. You don't need to credit them, I believe you could even claim it as your own (that'd be ethically dishonest IMHO, but legally fine). Second, the author also distances themselves from any responsibilities regarding this work (such as accuracy, fitness for any purpose or safety).
From what I've learned about copyright and IP law (extracurricular course next to my CS education, highly recommend if you get the opportunity) and reading, it's especially these last two points that are sometimes (in some jurisdictions/countries) difficult to get rid of or distance yourself from, as an creator. They don't always allow it. For instance (someone correct me if I remember this wrong), in the Netherlands a creator cannot fully distance themselves from the right to claim "I created this". Meaning that ghost-writing is contractually not possible and relies on the honour of the ghost-writer to keep their mouth shut. It's a bit of a vague thing and we didn't delve too deeply into that example. It's generally a minor thing.
Same goes for whether a creator can ever fully distance themselves from any responsibilities over the work they created. I can imagine some jurisdictions may not allow that either. I'm not sure how that works in NL (was not covered in the course).
Anyway in this sense, CC0 is a lot like the WTFPL without the profanity, I guess :)
