Description Sage Ross 2014-01-19 19:44:46 UTC 
The PNG elements of MediaWiki quickly begin to look terrible as the zoom is increased in a browser (especially compared to the rest of Vector, which scales up very smoothly). Anything above 100% zoom results in noticeable pixelation.

This is especially relevant as high resolution monitors become more common, and users will need to increase zoom to make the overall scale of a wiki page be usable and look good.

The site logo is the worst offender. Other problem icons include:
*All the Notification icons
*The Search magnifying glass
*The Watchlist star
*The Wikilove heart

I think all of those already have separate bugs filed for them blocking bug 32101.

See also http://caniuse.com/svg

According to that site, 84% of global web users can view SVG. If that's anywhere near correct, we'd need PNG fallback. Still, it's high time we used vector files for those who can use them.
