Description Eliot Graff 2012-10-18 14:40:14 UTC 
The webplatform logo renders incorrectly in IE8. Need a graceful fallback for SVG.

(From http://www.sitepoint.com/webplatform-org-html5-documentation-project/):

"You know, I have to mention it, their site breaks in IE8. It kind of shoots a hole in their motto: “We are an open community of developers building resources for a better web, regardless of brand, browser or platform.” Guess they haven’t heard of progressive enhancement. Craig, you could teach them a thing or two."

"You’re right. It’s mainly the SVG logo causing issues though – that’s a 2-minute fix with a PNG fallback."

Fixed in test, so will eventually be deployed to current.

If you can’t see the fix, make sure you’ve purged your cache well.
