Gem getting heavier

[larouxn]

According to rubygems.org/gems/payment_icons/versions, the gem has gotten quite a bit heavier recently. May be due tot he addition of several base64 png encoded icons as many were added in #393 and released as party of v1.5.7.

I noticed as well lately that many merged PRs were using base64 png icon, which I have concerns. Should we enforce to use proper SVG tags (<circle>, <path>...) instead of base64 png format?

Hmm, SVG only would certainly cut down on size but there are definitely icons for which people won't be able to find SVGs. 🤔

That said, considering this size increase is from just 10-20 recent icons I think we need to aim to enforce SVG only going forward.

Closing this for now. Let's just ensure we only accept SVGs going forward unless absolutely critical.
