Earlier quoted context omitted.

Don't many of these companies have specific terms on how their logos should be used on external sites to represent things like platform-specific apps? I'm not sure if custom-made fonts would be included in those terms, but I know these companies aren't dead set against there being no external usage.

Custom fonts are fine as long as they match the guidelines. I think they will have some issue-- mostly the ones that look different than the original icons (i.e. the white outlined versions). https://twitter.com/logo https://github.com/logos https://www.facebookbrand.com/dos-donts http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/certification/docs/...

I went a step ahead and included none of the social icons in my Clear icon set http://appzgear.com/products/clear-icons.htm I found each company has specific guidelines on usage of their of their trademarks/service marks with no clear mention of selling them as part of an icon set. I'm not an expert and I don't want to risk getting into a legal quagmire.

It seems a little dangerous to include logos for various companies. I could see the likes of Reddit and Y Combinator turning a blind eye, but would we expect the same from Google, Microsoft, and Apple? I am no legal expert, but wouldn't those icons present a long term problem if this project were to truly become successful?

I'm disappointed that there's no penguin.

No BSD daemons, or Puffy logos either. Damn these hipsters!

Exactly what is the worst thing that can happen?

Unfortunately, the icons look terrible on my Windows machine: http://i.imgur.com/WeTwez6.png (for example) Windows 7, Chrome 31.0.1650.34 beta-m.

That's a Chrome bug - https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137692 - been pending for over a year now

Gotta love the expected Vs. Instead answers :)
