This SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) appears to have been inadequately vectorized, for example, by auto-tracing, and may require revectorization to meet quality standards.
Automatic tracing of complex images can produce overly-large files, inaccurate outlines, and often miss out smaller details completely. Please consider editing this image by hand in a vector editor to improve it. For further information please see our picture tutorial and SVG help. For assistance, refer to the Graphics Lab.
