Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) generation is attracting increasing attention as generative models improve in expressiveness and controllability. Progress, however, is held back by the lack of domain-specific evaluation protocols: current practice relies on metrics designed for natural images, most notably CLIPScore, which was never trained on vector graphics and aligns only partially with human judgment.

We introduce \ours, a human-aligned evaluation framework for text-to-SVG generation. Through controlled caption and image perturbations, we first show that CLIP-based scores barely react to the errors SVG generators actually make, such as wrong colors, counts, and spatial relations, and that off-the-shelf Vision-Language Model (VLM) judges, while more sensitive, respond unevenly across error types and SVG styles.

We then introduce a human-annotated dataset for Semantic Alignment, measuring how faithfully a generated SVG reflects its caption. Building on it, we develop two complementary evaluators: CLIP scorers adapted to vector graphics and then aligned to human preferences, for fast large-scale evaluation, and a VLM judge trained with supervised fine-tuning and reward-shaped reinforcement learning, for more expressive and interpretable assessment.

Using both, we benchmark major open-source, commercial, and optimization-based SVG generators on an independent caption set.
