FYI, I assumed your lowercase "g" icon was for Google. Would not have guessed Github.

Yeah, I'm was never especially happy with it, despite its shape being the GitHub g rather than the Google g; I'd prefer the octocat which can't be confused by any means. But (silly me) I hadn't even asked for that to change (the icon font in use is Rondo: http://www.tajfa.com/projects/rondo/). I have now done so.

Ah, didn't realize this was a third party thing.

Yeah, it seems like the Octocat Mark is the recommended option now: "Use the Mark in social buttons to link to your GitHub profile or project" https://github.com/logos
