Every time I see issues with SVG icons in Elements I’m more and more convinced that SVG icons would be better handled via custom [asset pack integrations](https://elements.nolt.io/30), and possibly a custom ‘(SVG) Icon’ element.

I still think there is a need for a general SVG element (logos, spot illustrations, diagrams, graphs, charts, etc), but [SVG icons](https://design-system.w3.org/styles/svg-icons.html) are often [set-up](https://medium.com/yext-design/how-to-create-great-svg-icons-a-checklist-for-success-f255bd7f1344) a in [specific manner](https://www.govstack.com/learning-centre/citizen-portal/settings/custom-logo-images-and-colours/svg-guidelines-for-logos/) to ensure correct sizing, scaling, legibility, optimization, ability to change colours, etc. Grabbing any SVG icon off the internet and throwing it into the current SVG element to use as an icon probably won’t work as expected the vast majority of the time.
