The ones I can see are great! I know I'm most likely not your target market but I'd want to know. http://i.imgur.com/T661sDN.jpg FF 24 - ubuntu 12.04

Same thing on FF 24 on windows.

Unfortunately, it fails to display in Firefox for me on either a Mac or Linux. Works in Chrome though.

Same for me. Ubuntu 12.04, Firefox 24

these icons look great. really nice work. it seems the css for them suffers from the same glob css selectors which font-awesome switched away from in 4.x. im not entirely sure if this is really that big of an issue as people made it out to be. i wonder if ionicons will switch in the future? here is the font awesome issue: https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/568

Good point, we should tweak that. Made a GH issue for it https://github.com/driftyco/ionicons/issues/7

So looks like we got hit with a perfect storm of Github going down for the archive download, and the icons not loading on Firefox. Working on fixing the second one, but the repo with all the icons is here: https://github.com/driftyco/ionicons

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?

They look great, but the page is crashing mobile Safari (4s iOS 7) after a bit of scrolling.

This looks like a great complement to Font Awesome. Bless you for including a Cheatsheet in the download. These look great!

As an aside, I wish there was a way to search these icons sets by idea. So "Money" returns icon-ios7-pricetag and icon-social-bitcoin. (obviously I can cmd+F to look for the exact name).

Font Awesome is pretty popular and I haven't seen anything happening there with regards to this situation, so this is a non-issue IMO.

Not at all. Is common pattern for icons.
