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?

Exactly what is the worst thing that can happen?

A violation of terms of service. Whether that warrants respect is entirely upto the author.

Great Package… You have to submit ionicons to be listed in icomoon!

Because I don't know your experience with Icons Fonts but I only use around 10% of the icons and there is always some icons missing…

For those who don't use IcoMoon, It allows you to build custom fonts picking in different packages (Font Awesome, Entypo, Iconic, …), adding your own icons uploading svg file (e.g. your logo).

So Ionic is big on AngularJS...is AngularJS pretty hard to learn? It seems complicated. Say if my only framework experience was a few blogs with Python and PHP frameworks plus some average JS & jQuery experience.

IMO the hardest thing with Angular is not knowing the way to do things. Hopefully our examples and recommended practices will help a lot with that.

What is missing the most for my usage is all the symbols related to aeronautical domain (VOR, DME, TACAN, airport, beacon, ...). Something like http://www.eei.cena.fr/products/fonts/glyphes/orly-symbol1.g... but in beautiful vector font.

That would be cool. I'm the only aviation nut in the group and I'm not the one designing the icons, so I don't know if it would happen, but we'll see :)

Perhaps not the worse thing but being sued for trademark infringement is pretty bad.
