Contributing

This repository welcomes contributions and corrections. Before submitting a pull request, ensure that you respect these guidelines for SVGs:

  • Include the SVG namespace declaration xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg". This is not required if the SVG is included inline on HTML5 web pages.
  • Include a descriptive <title> element for accessibility. The <title> must have an ID of the format simpleicon-<iconname>-title - for example, <title id="simpleicons-github-title">GitHub icon</title>.
  • Add aria-labelledby="simpleicon-<iconname>-title" and role="img" to the <svg> element to improve screen reader support.
  • Use a viewBox of 24 by 24, following Google’s Material Design guidelines for system icons.
  • Ensure that all paths and strokes have been converted to fills.
  • Ensure your SVG is monochromatic. Remove all fill colors so that icons default to black.
  • Minify your SVG after exporting it. We recommend using SVGO or SVGOMG to automate this process.

JSON data for simpleicons.org

In addition to following the guidelines for SVGs, list new icons in the _data/simple-icons.json file. Each icon in the array has three required values:

  • The title of the new SVG.
  • A hex color value that matches the brand or logo's main accent color. (Without the # pound symbol.)
  • The source URL of the logo being used.

Here is the object for the GitHub logo as an example:

{
  "title": "GitHub",
  "hex": "181717",
  "source": "https://github.com/logos"
},

SVG example

Before minification, your SVG should look follow the template below:

<svg aria-labelledby="title" role="img" viewBox="0 0 24 24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <title>[BRAND] icon</title>
  <path [VALUE] />
</svg>

While the parent <svg> element can sometimes contain other attributes, the attributes listed above are the only necessary ones. You can remove safely remove attributes like width and height, or clean them using a tool like SVGO or SVGOMG.

Here is the un-minified contents of the GitHub icon, for reference:

<svg aria-labelledby="title" role="img" viewBox="0 0 24 24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-miterlimit="1.414">
  <title>GitHub icon</title>
