i'm impressed. that's really good work. what's now missing is to
unsharpen the image. this will make it look even more like a stock icon.
i suggest to make the triangle (transparent area) in the A a bit bigger,
so it is more visible at small sizes. for the same reason, i suggest to
move the arrow and the underscore a bit further away from the A.

i'm not sure if it is possible to convert .png to .svg, because .svg
images are actually XML files that are rendered on "view time" in the
requested size.

i'll search for a tool to do it.

keep up the good work!
