-:There's quite a bit of talk on [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Logos|that other wiki]] about restricting the quality of logo image files to avoid falling afoul of fair use/fair dealing restrictions.  We aren't that wiki, but we are hosted in the same legal jurisdiction under similar circumstances.  Properly-crafted SVG files generally result in far higher-quality output than comparable raster image files; their quality is theoretically infinite.  For this reason I wonder whether using the format for logos and other copyrighted and/or trademarked material is something we should actually be avoiding.
