Need icons for online services

Thu Jan 22, 2015 3:02 pm
Hi all,

in the KAccounts project, which allows you to set up online accounts in one central place, we currently have couple icons that have no clear license attached.

These icons/services include
* Google
* Twitter
* Facebook
* ownCloud
* StatusNet/Laconica/Pump.io

I'm wondering - does anyone know exactly if we can reuse the official logos in our application? Basically it will serve just as an icon next to the service name, nothing else.

Alternatively, would it be possible to get icons for those services mentioned above (first 4 would do) in the Breeze style?

Cheers

Currently the icons are in sizes 16x16, 22x22, 32x32 and 64x64.

I guess 32x32 should do (or preferably 64x64). Or svg would be best.

We shouldn't (reuse) because of trademarks but otherwise just using text to identify the service would be lackluster. But and adaptation like we've done with other icons would be ok, I think.

By the way can you make the request on the GitHub repo?. https://github.com/NitruxSA/plasma-next-icons

Sorry I totally missed the request to request it on github.

And actually I found out that we already do have Breeze icons for Google and Facebook and even Twitter (im-google and im-facebook and im-twitter).

So that will do for now :)
