Out of curiosity: Why?

Would it be possible to provide a scalable version of the logo in the
source code and generate the appropriate format from that at build
time? I know, for example, that some Linux packages put psql in their
menu and might like an endorsed logo for that. If we used, say, SVG
for that, we could also avoid storing more binary files in the source
tree. (I have an SVG version of the elephant available, btw.) We
could even provide a .desktop file.

Moreover, the file should be called psql.ico, not pgsql.ico.
