I don't think there's a simple yes/no answer to that. It fits somewhere between trademark and copyright legally, and probably depends on the degree of similarity.

#88There's a Chrome icon, but no Firefox or Safari or Edge or any other browser. Not even a generic. Can we please stop with the implicit homogenization around Chrome? /rant
There is a reason the set contains a Twitter icon and not a Mastodon icon, a Facebook icon and not a Diaspora* icon, a CodePen icon and not a Dabblet icon, etc. Like it or not, these are the products that the people elected.
