Regarding the SVG logo question in https://github.com/adium/adium/issues/3:
To the best of my knowledge, an SVG version of the Adium logo has never been created. I do have vector art of some sort (can't open right now to see) from the Vectory Ducks Xtras ( https://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=xtras&xtra_id=2222), but these are not the official Adium logo, and are not authorized for use as the official Adium logo. I'm not up on the current state of vectorization tech, but it might not be too hard to convert the old pixel art into vectors with decent results. If we wanted to use the Vectory Ducks, I could see if Sam's old email still works and he would grant us permission for that. Or perhaps someone could ask Adam Betts. I don't know if anyone is still in touch with him...
