    Shameless self promotion: I build a logo search engine that currently has almost 500K logos indexed: https://logosear.ch/

    Also, a good source of official SVG logos is BIMI, a standard that uses DNS to point to the URL of an SVG.

    Spec: https://bimigroup.org/

    I recently scraped them for the top N domains: https://bimi-explorer.svg.zone/bimi/

    I just don't see the need for sites like this, given that Iconify exists: https://icon-sets.iconify.design

    They probably have >90% of all the logos contained on simpleicons, along with nearly any other icon you could ever want or need.

    As an alternative, I run SuperTinyIcons. They're all full colour and each icon is guaranteed to be under 1KB.

    Seems like a lot of trademark infringement suits about to come their way. Am I mistaken or is there no way this viable? In addition, nobody has any legal right to put others trademarks (use these) on anything without the trademark owners permission. So even if the site and distribution is somehow OK, nobody can really use them anyway. Right?

    Don't tell the guy who paid $70k for icons about this!

    I find it amusing because in the past, I would have used this to find the logo of the company that I'd work for at the time.

    I wonder how many employees of said brands will use this rather than their corporate environment to find an svg asset!

    This is cool, but I wish I didn't have to get past "infinite" scrolling to check the license of the icons in the footer (it's CC0). "free" is a bit ambiguous.

    Doesn't have pornhub or Brazzers, not even logo SVG archiving escapes the tentacles of the moral police (keep in mind pornhub it's one of the top 10 most visited sites in the world)

    Surprisingly - No Microsoft logos. (Windows, Office, Azure, ...)

    If you are going to use them somewhere in your online product/project, kindly check the License agreement first.

    I use these for everything, I've even corrected a couple of them as sites tend to tweak their logos all the time:

    The site is broken for me on Safari (Mac), works in Chrome.

    The first one I downloaded (RTÉ colour) is an invalid SVG file.

    Incidentally, what is the third icon on the home page, /e/? There's a name impossible to google.

    For all others Try Brandfetch and their plugins in Miro and canva

    I did not expect to see AEW (All Elite Wrestling) on the list.

  • by ctenb on 9/20/24, 6:57 AM

    I read this as svg icons of size 3 kilobytes

  • by txtsd on 9/20/24, 12:46 AM

    Just what I needed today. Thank you!

  • by bickett on 9/20/24, 2:11 AM

    Oh that's great, I'm always looking for logos for apps

  • by rathboma on 9/20/24, 1:01 AM

    Automatic like for including Beekeeper Studio :-D.

    Doesn't have Grindr, disappointing.
