To solve #74 I combined the arrow at the bottom into the Mastodon brand/icon and kept everything else, basically.
However, this lead to some rendering bugs in some software.

Aim

This was the end result I got (PNG here):
logo_optimized_128

First broken version

First I had this Inkscape SVG:
unpublished_broken_version

In Inkscape, this renders properly as that:
unpublished_broken_version

In Firefox, this renders as this, however:
unpublished_broken_version_Firefox

Note how the arrow is just missing here.

Also notice that saving the SVG as optimized did not help in any way.

Second version

I re-did the whole thing as I may have done something wrong (I e.g. used the "Clean" option in Inkscape's File menu), and got the current version now:

Here another direct upload to keep the state of the SVG;
logo

This renders broken too in Firefox and my file explorer (GNOME Nautilus) and image viewer (Eye of GNOME):
grafik

However, if saved as "Optimized SVG", it works now:
logo_optimized

This renders properly in Firefox:
logo_optimized_Firefox

GNOME, however, again handles this a little awkwardly:
grafik

System

Operating system and version: Fedora Silverblue 37
Browser and version: Firefox 107.0.1

Possible solution

Given that the optimized version works in Firefox, this was okay for me to release.

However, I have a PR ready should we need to switch to the PNG icon: #91

Interesting, have you also reported this either to browsers or Inkscape?

The Inkscape bug sounds as if it was already known. The browser and GNOME Eye, I dunno, but I expected this to be some basic incompatibility. I have tried to find bug reports and added them in the comments here, so maybe this will cause some replies.
If you find other bug reports or want to report them, feel free to do so and comment the results.
