Sorry, there is currently no vector version. Effects like bevels and shadows are raster effects. However, based on this: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/SVG_filter_effects it does look like SVG's been extended with the raster effects needed to recreate my beveled icon. I am installing Inkscape now and will try to do that later, perhaps today, perhaps not. In the meanwhile, here's my new beveled Cygwin logo: http://etr-usa.com/cygwin/logo/beveled-noshadow.psd Changes from the original: - removed the big drop shadow (outer glow still present) - softened lighting on the wedge - dropped outer C stroke from white to a light gray - rebuilt as 1024 px square, not counting the outer glow, for finer editing control This should open in any version of Photoshop going back to the 90s. (v6 and up, I'm guessing.) While I realize not everyone will have even that, I'm providing it because it's based on easy-to-edit procedural effects, rather than flattened raster effects. However, I have made a fully rasterized, layered version compatible with Gimp for those without even Photoshop 6.0: http://etr-usa.com/cygwin/logo/beveled-noshadow-rasterized.xcf I also made a 256 px .ico, for those who just want to see it in action: http://etr-usa.com/cygwin/logo/beveled-noshadow.ico
