As long as there's dark on bright contrast, there's no need for a frame

and I think it would look clumsy. I have to do something for the bright

on dark case, though, so good point :)

Lets not behave like control freaks ;)

For bright background colours, the penguin works fine unfilled.

Imagine it being printed on a bright blue t-shirt. Given the SVG sources,

it would be easy enough for anyone to remove the white fill, so releasing

only the versions with it could make sure it's used by default, without

making black only versions impossible and putting people off by a set of

strict rules that smell of lawyers.
