SVGs

When exporting SVGs, be sure to follow the following guidelines:

  1. Convert all strokes to outlines.
  2. Use pathfinder tools to combine overlapping paths and create compound paths.
  3. SVGs that are limited to one color should be exported without a fill color so the color can be set using CSS.
  4. Ensure that exported SVGs have been run through an SVG cleaner to remove unused elements and attributes.

You can open your svg in a text editor to ensure that it is clean. Incorrect files will look like this:
