Great site and there are also other quite helpful suggestions in the thread such as Icomoon. Problem is that the next time I need SVG icons I will forget these sites, try to google them and ending up on those sites that perform well on Google's SERPs but want money for clean SVGs. This happened to me two days ago and I just fired up Inkscape and remade those icons. However, this took too long. How can I remember such…
I wouldn't call them "beautiful". They're OK. "Cute" maybe. In any case, personally I'd rather wait for other people to call my work beautiful. Seems a bit pompous to self-apply it.
There'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
This is not a conspiracy, you know. 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.

> Don't you think it depends on a lot of factors, not just the use of a different icons? Of course - it all adds up. The trick is knowing where and when it is worth differentiating.
Vas majority of the websites that use font awesome icons are cheaply made projects that fail to get traction most of the time and have a relatively small user base. So using font awesome icons with an idea that it will help users recognize what they represent, is flawed. I doubt regular users who according to you "would have trouble figuring out what the icon means if they did not see it before" even visit the type o…

It's open source... Why don't you make one?

Sure, I could make something that works. I could make a hacky icon for each. And that's what I did for my app. I could try to contribute, but it's not going to be in the style of the rest of the icons. That's the point of a collection. It's a collection that one or a team of people made. I can make a PR that they have to look at and fix and/or redesign. I could ask them to create it themselves. But in both of these s…
Then perhaps open source icons are not a good fit for you! If you have some requests/demands, and can't do the work yourself, then paying a premium to have that work done seems like the correct route.
Seems like a good time to mention an absolutely awesome - https://icomoon.io/app It allows cherry-picking icons from dozens of different SVG icon packs (including Feather) and packaging them into a custom (web)font. It can also be used to package your own SVG assets into a single font file and then use resulting .woff as an SVG sprite sheet.

Literally never heard of any of these. However I have heard of Safari, Edge, and Firefox. And I don’t think the market share breakdown of twitter vs Mastodon is similar to Chrome vs. Firefox.
