For comparison, there is also https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/193434/ . Paladox is proposing to make wgLogo SVG (will need back-compat of course), with wgLogoPNG as a fallback for browsers that don't support SVG.
Depending on the complexity of the SVG logo, that could result in a large file being downloaded. The Wikipedia logo SVG is 162 KB vs. 19 KB for the PNG. But if someone wants SVG, by all means
One question though; the logo is now a background image, requiring media queries for PNG and a lot of CSS background hacking for SVG. Is there no way to do it using a regular <img> tag, using srcset for PNG, instead?
Regards,
IIRC there are some reasons related to something like overflow or centering that require the use of a background in the MonoBook/Vector style skins. Plus site styles that use CSS to override the logo.
Either way, even if we switched Vector to use an <img> we'd still have to solve the issue of using a background-image since there will be other skins that use a background-image.
