There are certainly merits to having an SVG, though we seem to be
doing OK with the high resolution PNG of the Wikipedia logo (it looked
great on the banners where I've seen it). The original Commons picture
has a resolution of 2240x1680 (including background):

I think that unless we hire a professional designer, a vector version
could come later.

I also think they're too roundy. They're from a font, I might try to
do something with inkscape instead.
