Separate optimized vs. inkscape icon designs #86

I noticed that the /logo/icon/svg are Inkscape designs, and they carry a lot of extra baggage. On supertinyicons.org there's a codeberg.svg of only 436 bytes in the blue variant, but not in monochrome (white).

It may be better if both optimized and inkscape designs (with filename extension _inkscape) would be available.

The online SVGOMG optimizer can be used with preferred settings to process the Inkscape designs.

Personally, I'm not particularly interested in the race to the bottom of SVG filesize, (especially if there isn't an excessive misuse that got out of hand).

#80 Covered a certain case, if you can come up with a logo that is smaller but changes nothing other than the file size. I'm down to accept updates. If you want to propose an update please make sure that colors and exact position of all paths are 100% the same (not only in your favorite browser but on applications like Inkscape and the most browsers).

The consideration was mostly about smaller sizes of images to save energy and get slightly better page load times for those on slow connections. Logo's are used in many, many places, so it adds up. A basic run of SVGOMG for instance by a SVG noob like me, on codeberg-logo_horizontal_blue.svg brings down its size nearly by half (9.2kb --> 5.3kb).

I don't feel like we need to care about optimization of resources others may put to use. I care about the resource being correct, in terms of exact color and position values as well as met-information more than a few saved bytes. If somebody wants to optimize it – most probably the best approach is: taking into consideration what the specific usecase is, removing all redundant information.

I'm not willing to maintain or come up with this kind of optimizations but am not opposed to people putting in the effort and contributing it.

I highly appreciate your work! Fully understand 👍
