Off topic, but Simon's Pelican on a bike SVG makes me think they are using that is the current models. I ask for much simpler SVG icons periodically (to insert into webpages, map icons, chart icons, etc.) and all of the models tend to do poorly in my experience.

Most recent example was a V to look like a checkmark. Seemingly much simpler than a pelican riding a bike, but Claude/ChatGPT/Google all did quite poorly.

Yes, it's been my experience as well. When I was looking for a good svg generator, I found a bunch of repos on Github created by Chinese programmers: OmniSVG / OmniLottie, SVGDreamer, and a few others. I didn't try them but it tells me that at least some people are trying to make it happen.

Yeah, exactly my experience as well. Pretty much why I've build SVGFarm.

I won't mind seeing this project turn obsolete when models get good and cheap enough to generate clean, usable icons directly. But until then I’m pretty happy leaning on all those beautifully hand-crafted SVG icons people have made over the past decades.
