You open the image in an image viewer and look at it.  With your  
eyes.  A better approach would be to ask people to stop making changes  
to the logo altogether so we can all get on with writing software.

Then you ask people to stop making changes to the Fabric logo.

You commit the updated file and get on with the important things in  
life.

Nobody wants to do the this.  People - me included - are just  
wondering why the website looks broken. That makes people - me  
included - wonder if this otherwise cool project is still maintained  
or how active it is.  If collaborating doesn't matter to you, I'd have  
to ask why you bothered opening up this project to people in the first  
place.

More importantly, I'm wondering how receptive you will be to important  
suggestions from others to change/enhance/extend Fabric code if you're  
so willing to ignore everybody over something that the rest of the  
world sees as a totally trivial non-problem.

I'd recommend that you once again ask people to once again stop making  
changes to the Fabric logo.

It's beyond reason for anybody who has a computer made since 1993.   
Normal use cases involve image editors.  Hand editing SVG is quite  
silly.  But, once again, I'd recommend that you ask anybody who tries  
to change the logo to stop it.

I can offer to host a png graphic for you on Akamai so you can just  
change the src attribute on the <img /> tag so we can all stop wasting  
time on this distraction and get back to work.
