Credits where credits are due: this exercise in manual SVG optimisation was based on a rough vectorization sketch of the laughing man logo (SVG) done by elm3x. Thanks for making the above more fun than laboursome! :-)

i had the idea to create an animated svg of the laughing man logo this weekend, but when i found this, i decided it was exactly how i would've done it. Great work.

That's what i want instead of rely on css version which is unscaleable or too complicated.

You want an example? Here we go

And by the way, try open this svg file and then change color from "#057" to "#061acb".
