Updated Google Scholar logo #25

Closed uguryavuz closed 1 week ago

Academicons uses the pre-2018 version of the Google Scholar logo (see jpswalsh/academicons#146), I switched it to the up-to-date version on Font Awesome instead.

Hi @uguryavuz

Thank you so much for your contributions to this project!

The new Google Scholar logo seems less famous than the old one. When people see the old Google Scholar logo, they will immediately know this is the link for Google Scholar. However, at least for me, I could not directly connect the new logo to Google Scholar at first glance. Therefore, I prefer to keep the old logo, as in Academicons. I think people can switch to the new logo themselves if they like it.

If you have any further suggestions, please feel free to contact me.

Best,

Yaoyao

Hello @yaoyao-liu,

I had the same reaction to the old logo, probably since I haven't used Google Scholar while that logo was being used. In any case, I don't feel too strongly about either direction - so I'll close the PR. Thank you for this project by the way, big fan of the template!
