I created the Encapsule.io "blue burst" icon as an SVG while exploring the amazing application inkscape.

Initially I was just screwing around. But later, I decided I really liked the look. So, I dove into inkscape and created a small collection of similar icons to badge Encapsule packages and libraries.

SVG has been around forever and is a mature and stable text file format. Besides being scalable, SVG is generally quite small when compared with a JPG or PNG which makes it attractive for use where size matter (so always). Also, support is solid (and quite fast) with all the major browser vendors providing out-of-the-box rendering of UTF8-encoded SVG text returned by your sever with the Content-Type: image/svg+xml header.

Recently, I decided to test out the scaling performance on this site and added the background image you see behind all pages now. Cool!
