I recently saw a blog that had the social media icons as soda cans which I thought was pretty neat. Of course there were only a few listed but it was still eye catching.
Great post - thanks!

How is it possible to use these icons? Creative Commons indicates you should link back to the webpage of the designer, but the purpose of the icon is to function as a link to your social media page, so what is the best way to integrate both needs?
Kallie 12:18 PM on September 10, 2010
Love these! These are some great, versatile options that can accommodate the design aesthetic of all sorts of different businesses.

@Cheryl
Depending on the license, you would link to credit the author somewhere on the page where the icon is used.
