On irc.freenode.net#svg , stelt showed us a new version of the Firefox browser logo done in SVG. As it was done in Adobe Illustrator, however, it was grossly bloated with ugly round-trip code and proprietary extensions.

I took it upon myself to clean it up (I also like untying knots in kite strings). The tidied-up version can be seen here:

• unzipped version (45KB)
• gzipped version (12KB)

For those interested in picayune details, stripping out proprietary extensions, base-64-encoded embedded images, and removing extraneous spaces and line-breaks took it from 8744 lines to 429 lines, going from 667KB to 45KB.

Damn you, Adobe Illustrator!!! ;)
