Reminds me of "Is there a reason Hillary Clinton's logo has hidden notches?" https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/73601/is-t...


I had to do a similar thing with the Gitlab logo[0] (and it's still messed up on their marketing sites). There are limitations to the SVG renderers in browsers (and elsewhere), it is kinda sad that we don't have AGG-quality rendering as a standard feature of browsers these days. :- (

... which reminds me of similar notches from typography at small sizes. Interesting how physical bleeding ink and rendering issues result in similar workarounds.



Thanks! I couldn't remember the term.


Yeah! I recently built a website that heavily uses Illustrator assets exported as svg. I was happy to have read that explanation before pulling my hair out over weird artifacts.


Yakk's explanation there is great.
