Grin. OK, so here is a *text based* icon. 

Indeed, it is well formed XML. Its even valid.

And when gzipped, simulating the transmission size over HTTP/1.1, it is
2,687 bytes which is fair enough. I attach a PNG to show what it
actually looks like. A 128color, 96 by 61 pixel GIF was 3,022 bytes, the
same image was 2,620 bytes as a PNG and the 24-bit version was 3,610
bytes as a q85, 444, progressive JPEG (anything less and it looked
awful. Logos are bad for jpef compression).

The path data was programatically generated, and I didn't write the
program, so I can't give it out yet. The rest was hand written.
