Drupal 8 makes using inline SVG in your templates both easy and awesome. For starters, you can:

Pass variables into your svg file to change colors, add classes, create animations, and more.
Display SVG differently based on its context
Respond to user events like hover, click, etc.
Use php to dynamically create paths in an SVG based on database values
