Ask HN: Has anyone noticed Hacker News changed its logo to SVG format?

Didn't notice and don't really care, to be honest. It's not something that's on my list of what's important about this site. But kudos to YC for doing that.

For such a simple logo that can be easily made in plain CSS, is there any practical advantage to actually making it an SVG or image file rather than a few lines of CSS?

I guess it needs to be a favicon which can’t be done in CSS so you may as well not use CSS for it anywhere.

It's a great choice for icons - one size fits all!
