Ask HN: Let's Discuss Hacker News' Logo Icon

2 pointsby octosphereover 5 years ago
I sometimes zoom into Hackernews in my browser, and something caught my eye. The small <i>Y</i> logo in the top left of the screen is not a vector graphic. I am referring to the graphic located here:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;y18.gif<p>Instead when I zoom in, I get a blurry image since it&#x27;s actually a raster (GIF) image. Can whoever is in charge of HN&#x27;s site design convert this to an SVG image? If we&#x27;re worried about compatibility, SVG works in all modern browsers and is an underused and unappreciated file format. A small tweak will go a long way.
