Anyone know of a FontAwesome-like project, ideally with a CDN, that serves SVG icons like Font Awesome has so including them in a website is easy and compact?
Where do we find a good SVG editor? That might be the reason the mass hasn't switched to svg.
Perhaps Inkscape?
I bet many of these would be even smaller in SWF, since that's a very efficient (bit-packed, and then compressed) binary format specifically designed for small filesize, as opposed to the textual XML of SVG (although SVG is not really "XML-ish" in the sense that path data is still a list of points, and not one-element-per-point.)
In case anyone else was suspicious of the 20k file size for a 512x512 PNG with essentially two colors - it's way off. I dropped it into Photoshop and exported as PNG and it spit out an identical file that weighs in at 6k.
And if you run it through https://tinypng.com it should get down even smaller. PNG compresses surprisingly well when it’s basically two colors + alpha.
Very cool! I would advise to try minifying with svgomg, some icons seem to benefit. Eg bitbucket.svg can be reduced by 20% without any visual change.
Most of them were already minimised with SVGO and svgcleaner. If you can make them smaller - I'd love a pull request :-)
Here is DO logo that you can gzip down to 221b

Do you think it is ok to pull out newlines?

Photoshop: 6 705 bytes, 128 colors, 1-bit alpha only
TinyPNG: 6 179 bytes, 92 colors
Optimage: 5 761 bytes, 154 colors
TinyPNG + Optimage (lossless): 5 226 bytes, 92 colors
TinyPNG tends to use fewer colors. But its compressor is pretty suboptimal. I could reduce the image further by 15.4% with the tool I'm making (http://getoptimage.com).

Do you care about readability? Does ungzipped size counts or you assume that users will be using gzip? Here is DO logo that you can gzip down to 221b http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="#0080ff"> Do you think it is ok to pull out newlines?
I'm not fussed about compressed size - but I'd certainly welcome a Pull Request if you've managed to shrink that icon.

Sketch for Mac is excellent
Amazing! With SVG being supported on all browsers you should care about today, it obsoletes icon fonts, which require the entire icon set to be downloaded.
