Awesome Simple Icons on your favorite Shields.io Badges. Find it at Here.
Simple Badges is a fork of the original Simple Icons website, which made a combination of original icons with multiple styles of Shields.io badges to help you to find your favorite badges in a easy way.
I've seen people use Shields.IO badges for various scenarios, the most common one is use it for your GitHub profile README to showcase your skills , your software or even things you like .
However, that is certainly not its only use. Be creative!
That's it! You can check Mastering Markdown for details about adding image to your README.
The repo will fetch the latest version of Simple Icons as soon as Shields.io updates it in dependencies. Usually it is scheduled to Fridays as stated here.
You can initiate a new icon request directly to the Simple Icons team at here.
