Social media icons monochrome?

Honestly I always did them in color until Instagram came out with their CorelDraw gradient monstrosity. Now I'm happy to just render them in white using FontAwesome. Maybe I make the rollover resemble the official color.

not the fastest board eh

I went for monochrome or though facebook has in it visual guidelines to not alter the color but fuck em

no "social media" icons would be the infinitely better choice.

It's print design but if there's a pigment that changes on rollover let me know :^)

so edgy. much wow.

Both of those examples are monochrome though.
Just because one uses green/white instead of black/white doesn't mean it's not monochrome.

If it works in black and white, it will work in color and vise versa. That's why you design logos in black and white before you work in color.

I've made that argument more than once to clients ...

"Why do we need social icons on your banner/brochure/presentation?"

"Because we have a Facebook page."

Erm... who the fuck doesn't? Should we also stick Happy Kilowatt on there so that your customers know you have electricity in the building?

I mean, obviously it's dumb to just have the icon with nothing else, but they're a succinct relative to things like 〒 or in contact info.

Except that you can't click on a Facebook/twitter icon on a printed piece, or a TV commercial. Therefore pointless.

You're not using them as clickables, you're using them as ideograms to denote that the following text is your username on that service.
It's more important for small businesses with ambiguous names than big ones; [F] Coca-Cola is lunacy but [F] BigApplePizzaTroy is pretty useful to distinguish yourself from the ones in Jersey, Florida, and Jerusalem.

Think of it like the old [phone] and [fax] icons. A way to distinguish ambiguous contact information in an em rather than a whole sentence.
