You're right, sorry for that. I'll try to number any new versions
consistently (I did number the old ones on my system, but not consistently).

I think Firefox can display them, if you're using it. Other than that,
there's e.g. Inkscape, a pretty good open source drawing program. But
then again, there's no necessity for you to install software (that's why
I usually include png files as well).

The benefit of svg (or any vector graphics, for that matter) is, that
you can use them at any size you want. If you resize your average raster
graphic (jpg, png, whatever) you'll always get some blur effect. In
addition to that, vector graphics are usually smaller compared to
high-resolution raster images, because they store how to create the
image (strokes, colors, etc.) rather than the final outcome.

In any case, for icons/logos I prefer vector graphics mainly for the
first reason (they are instantly available at all sizes).

The one you prefer is the Blender version. What you call outline isn't
really an outline (that was the thick thing in the early svg versions) -
it's the result of Blender's bevel tool.

Noted.
