Most icon SVGs are a couple hundred bytes. Some of the logos are bit bigger, a couple of kilobytes, which is fine. But the Wiktionary logo is 20KB, and the Wikinews logo is 204KB. These icons also contain way too much detail to be useful as 20x20px icons.

We should make the Wikinews logo SVG smaller. It makes up 0.37% of all icons by number (1 of 273), but 59.7% by volume (206KB out of 346KB). In other words, adding this one icon made the icons package 2.5x bigger. We should also try to make the Wiktionary logo smaller, but that one isn't quite as absurdly large as the Wikinews icon.

This needs to be fixed and deployed as a matter of urgency. VE is loading this module and so this will be causing a significant performance regression.

If there are no users other than the requesters in the original task, this can just be reverted and downstreamed until a more acceptable upstream solution is agreed upon.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/888694

[oojs/ui@master] icons: Amend 'Wikinews' and 'Wiktionary' logo

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/888701

888701 features abstracted Wikinews logo from https://www.figma.com/file/NxMgGOrKSiNExRgD6qHU74/Wikinews-logo?node-id=40:207&t=OZk6STeTp0gWS35V-0 (Option #3)

That seems to be acceptable to me for logo representation at 20dp, given that we also use globe abstraction in MetaWiki logo. And it's only 685 bytes gzipped.

Volker_E set the point value for this task to 3.
Volker_E moved this task from Up Next to Design-System-Sprint on the Design-System-Team board.
