I was able to grab the logos by bringing the .svg file into Inkscape (open source .svg editor). The three logos are grouped so you can select them and then paste them into another document. Then you'll have to ungroup the three logos and select each logo separately.

I should have been more specific: I'd like to try to extract into 3 separate files the weapons of mass destruction symbols from the "WMD_world_map.svg" image in the Wiikipedia article on "Weapons of mass destruction" (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1d/WMD_world_m ap.svg). I've opened it in Emacs enough to see that it's a structured text file consistent with what little I know about XML. It looks to me like a list, but without convenient names for the list components. Thanks again, Spencer p.s. I found the biohazard symbol by itself (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Biohazard_s ymbol.svg), but I didn't find the radioactive and skull-and-crossbones symbols in exactly that form.
