      I am fixing the MD logos so I will release a improved version of it soon.

      Yeah, just rename them to system.svg
      Delete the system2.svg if not needed.

        You will have trouble with the superfamicom logo on a dark background like carbon.
        I can adjust that for you. What color do you want for the text instead? Red? Light grey? Other color?

          Ahh, yeah I see the black text would definitely be an issue just looking at the screenshot.

          Well, I guess red would be great, since the famicom logo is already red, and there's some red in the superfamicom logo already. Actually, yellow might work out well also, to match the yellow in the logo. Use your best judgement I guess - red or yellow would be fine.

          How can I tell what the "system2.svg" is in the famicom folder, and if it's needed? Would it hurt to leave it in there - would it interfere with your custom logo?

                      Would it be smarter/better to open a new thread to share SVG logos?
                      This thread here was about your tutorial and I am kinda like hijacking it with my logo stuff.
                      Wouldn't it be better to have a share SVG logos thread of its own? What you think?

                        @FlyingTomahawk Nice and clean logo. I didn't know this company.
                        Yes a dedicated SVG logo thread is a good idea.

                              @UDb23 I know this is an old topic, but I just watched your vector tutorial and I cant wait to try these techniques out. Your video was perfect btw, easy to understand, you didnt do things too quickly and the background music was nice and not distracting. Nice work as always!
