Hey there, sorry for the torturous wait. This project's in an unofficial freeze at the moment while I figure out what the hell I'm doing with the project's pipeline. Merging new icons into the dev branch is a pain-in-the-arse, so I've been trying to avoid it when possible… 😀 As for the updated icon, I've cleaned up some redundant geometry and pushed the change to your branch. It also fixes an error that stops Adobe Illustrator from opening the file correctly (an arc-drawing command used

Cool! I thought I did a pretty good job reducing the number of control points, but I see you found a bit more that could be tweaked. Thanks for taking a look at this 😃 |
You did. But almost every SVG I come across contains redundant geometry in some form or another: duplicate control points, unnecessary Bézier handles, unclosed paths, etc… I don't expect contributors to be as neurotic as I am when it comes to this level of optimisation, though.

Hello!
I've recently submitted a simplified version of the Org icon to simple-icons in simple-icons/simple-icons#4889 after revamping the website (https://orgmode.org) last year. I think that file-icons could also benefit from the simplified version.
This simpler version of the Org mode icon is ~1/3 the size of the icon currently used here, and visually separates the mane from the rest of the head.
