Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML -based vector image format for defining two-dimensional graphics, having support for interactivity and animation. The SVG specification is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium since 1999. SVG images are defined in a vector graphics format and stored in XML text files.
Vector graphics are a form of computer graphics in which visual images are created directly from geometric shapes defined on a Cartesian plane, such as points, lines, curves and polygons. The associated mechanisms may include vector display and printing hardware, vector data models and file formats, as well as the software based on these data ...
Further information: Commons:Help:SVG. Scalable Vector Graphics is a commonly used file format for providing a geometrical description of an image using basic objects such as labels, circles, lines, curves and polygons. An image can be reduced or enlarged to an arbitrary size, and will not suffer image data loss, nor will it become pixelated.
This image shows the results of overlaying each of the above transparent PNG images on a background color of #6080A0. Note the gray fringes on the letters of the middle image. This shows how the above images would look when, for example, editing them. The grey and white check pattern would be converted into transparency.
MediaWiki converts the SVG image to a PNG image. The SVG format is the working format of the stored image so that people can more easily convert images for use in different languages. If you're using a browser other than Internet Explorer, just keep clicking the image and you'll eventually get the full-size image, which will be the SVG version.

The defining SVG was created from scratch using a plain text editor and validated using validator.w3.org. The PNG version was then rendered from the SVG using Inkscape , converted to grayscale and stripped from its alpha channel using the Gimp and finally optimized with pngout .
Thanks in advance! Daylen ( talk) 16:04, 11 October 2017 (UTC) Daylen that file uses a stylesheet and the SVG rendering software used by Wikipedia (RSVG) requires those elements to have the type attribute i.e. type="text/css". I went ahead though and removed the stylesheet since it is such a small SVG and uploaded the file.
