internet-explorer_9-11.svg is very large

This SVG includes lots of unnecessary embedded .png dumps to achieve things which can be done with SVG filters etc.

For an idea of the size reduction potential; removing them gets the filesize from 647KB to 77KB albeit with a bit of work to do to get the thing looking correct.

Would a redraw be accepted or is this an official SVG?

@eoghanmurray Yes. Unfortunately, when I last tried, I didn't managed to get something that didn't have very noticeable differences.

SVG filters

Note: SVG filters are not always the best when it comes to performance (see: [1], [2], [3]).

is this an official SVG?

It is. @docluv provided it for this project when he was working for or with Microsoft (see: #48).

Note: The .eps file is available in the pull request.

Would a redraw be accepted

As long as the differences are not very noticeable, yes!

Note: This project often improves upon the original, and where possible, the changes are contributed back to the source (e.g.: [1], [2], [3], etc.).

I'm going to close this issue, but as always, pull requests that improve things are very welcomed!

Thanks!

Suspected this at the back of my mind, but ignored it... good to see the references and I think actually some of the ones I did on the safari SVG could be replaced with radial gradients.

Is there a way of doing a diff and getting a 'score'?

See #202

@eoghanmurray Yes. See for example: butteraugli.
