Bash one-liner to convert logo.svg into logo.ico, using Inkscape to export the png images at various sizes:

eval convert \
  '<(inkscape -e /dev/stderr logo.svg -w '{16,24,32,48,64,128,256}' 2>&1 > /dev/null)' \
  logo.ico

Inspired by Malcolm MacLeod's answer, but avoiding the explicit loop and the temporary files.

The stderr and redirection is to avoid Inkscape's success message on stdout (“Bitmap saved as: /dev/stdout”) ending up in the image data.
