You really use VI for that?  How geeky of you!
Why not use Inkscape?  (I guess the analogy is why use Eclipse when you have to program in Java....)

You really use VI for that?

Yes.

Why not use Inkscape?

Sometimes I start with an initial rough draft, either in Inkscape or generated by use  POTrace.  But view source on this page and compare it to the original to see the difference hand crafting makes.

(I guess the analogy is why use Eclipse when you have to program in Java....)

When I program in Java, I use vim.

What is F5?

I’m similarly cursed with having my Cerebellum hard-wired to vi. I curse Bill Joy most every day.

What is F5?

It’s the key on the top of your keyboard between F4 and F6, but that’s not important right now.  :-)

Since ‘F5’ came off my slides I feel obligated to explain that it’s the ‘refresh’ key for your browser.

They (whomever ‘they’ might be) say you learn something new every day. (I suppose if you have memory problems it might actually be the same new thing repeatedly.) Sure enough, I learned about the SVG element from Sam Ruby’s blog post about...

Sam Ruby seems to practice recreational SVG. Steffen, the only person I know who regularly writes SVG by hand, tells me that he is insane....

Apologies, another thread necro.

WebKit on Mac OS X doesn’t render your SVG logo correctly - it renders the black background, but then only the first horizontal bar.

If I modify it to the following, it renders nicely - though I have no idea how ugly my SVG hack is at this time:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<g stroke-width="12" stroke="#000">
  <g id="svgstar" transform="translate(50,50)">
  <path id="svgbar" d="M-27-5a7,7,0,1,0,0,10h54a7,7,0,1,0,0-10z"/>
  <use xlink:href="#svgbar" transform="rotate(45)"/>
  <use xlink:href="#svgbar" transform="rotate(90)"/>
  <use xlink:href="#svgbar" transform="rotate(135)"/>
  </g>
</g>
<g fill="#FB4" transform="translate(50,50)">
  <use xlink:href="#svgbar" />
  <use xlink:href="#svgbar" transform="rotate(45)"/>
  <use xlink:href="#svgbar" transform="rotate(90)"/>
  <use xlink:href="#svgbar" transform="rotate(135)"/>
</g>
</svg>

Hope this helps someone - is it a bug that I should submit to Apple, or is your original SVG logo using a shortcut that works outside the spec?
