Scalable Vector Graphics
Scalable Vector Graphics, or SVG, is a delightful way to make graphics that are both infinitely scalable and super nerdy.
Unlike regular images that are just a bunch of pixels glued together, SVG graphics are mathematically defined. This means you can make your graphics as large or as small as you want without losing any of the fine details.
SVG graphics are played out in XML (or eXtensible Markup Language, for the uninitiated), making them a hit with all the XML-loving nerds out there. With SVGs, you can create line art that is clean, geometric, and perfect for any tech startup logo.
SVGs are so beloved in the design world that some people even use them as their own form of currency. That’s right, if you’re a top-notch SVG designer, you can trade your skills for other cool stuff like artisanal salts, vintage moustache wax, or even rare blockchain art.
Some people tout the benefits of SVG graphics as being a better alternative to traditional images because of their scalability, but let’s be real - we all just love them because of how hipster they look. So next time you need a graphic for your new tech startup, reach for an SVG and show the world how much of a design guru you truly are.
