As brought to light recently by @davidjb (mostly) and myself, we have quite a number of icons in our library with one or more imperfections from the following list:

  • They do not fit the canvas
  • Their level of precision may be too high
  • They are not perfectly centred on the canvas

It's going to be a fairly hefty job getting all these fixed so we'd like to appeal to the members of our community to help us out if they can by taking on one or more of these icons for review on all 3 points above. (We know, example, that there are 76 icons on the first list that are also not perfectly centred on the canvas.)

To avoid having people working at cross-purposes on the same icons, if you are reviewing one, please either check it off the list or leave a comment. Also, so that this issue doesn't become cluttered with comments, if an icon warrants further discussion, please keep that discussion to the icon's PR, or create an issue for it.

After you fixed an icon, please run SI_UPDATE_IGNORE=true npm run svglint to update the list of icons that is ignored by the SVG linter so that the icon you fixed won't be excluded in the future.

Icons that don't fit the canvas (#3107)

Icons with outlying precision levels (#3120)

Icons that are not centred on the canvas (#3250)

Icons to review checking their simplicity of precision

see #3169 (comment) for details

Icons to remove ineffective segments (#4262)

Avoid negative zeros within paths (#4350)

Maybe these icons could be grouped into sections, so someone could take one section. Rather than one Icon at a time. Eg Programing, Social, Gaming.

I can understand why that also might not be a good idea. But it seems this will be hard to track in it's current form.

If you list the ones you're planning to update in a comment here we can check them off in the original post. Grouping multiple icons into a single PR should not be a problem as the review should be rather quick, since all one need to do is resize the icon.

@simple-icons/maintainers I'm unable to access cevo.com at the moment, looks like their site has been down for a few days. Other than that, every icon on this list has been submitted! 🎉

Yeah 🎉
Looks like Cevo website is down from time to time. I though they we're not existing anymore while reviewing icons (#3169 (comment)). Then, it suddenly goes up (#3169 (comment)).

And we're done! CEVO website came back online, and I was able to extract the logo. 🎉

Wow! Incredible work, everyone 😁 The last thing I expected to see completed when I came back was this monstrosity!
