| SVG and than recalculates this intermediate result into the final GIF --
| with all the losses and artefacts that I am trying to circumvent by
| using a vector graphic as a start.
|
| So is there a way to tell IM to convert the vector graphic directly into
| the desired size? Perhaps by telling it some virtual size of that vector
| graphic?
|
| With vector EPS the result was just the same.

Rather than using -resize define the dot-per-inch density for the image
convert -density 200 logo.svg logo.png
Adjust the '200' to get the size you want the image to be.
EG if the SVG image is 2 inchs high than the above will make you image
400 pixels high. Default density is 72 dpi
Also note that as GIF is not your final format I suggest you use PNG.
GIF is lossy in terms of a reduces number of colors (256 color limit)
and a boolean (or just on or off) transparency. PNG does not have those
problems and saves the images perfectally as is, including all colors
and semi-transparent colors.
