### 1. Identify Official Logos and Colors
Most of the icons and brand colors on SimpleIcons have been derived from official sources. Using official sources helps ensure that the icons and colors in SimpleIcons accurately match the brand they represent. Thankfully, this is usually a simple process as organizations often provide brand guides and high quality versions of their logo for download.

#### Icon Guidelines
Working with an SVG version of the logo is best. In the absence of an SVG version, other vector filetypes may work as well (e.g. EPS, AI, PDF). In the absence of vector logos, a vector can be created from a high quality rasterized image, however this is much more labor intensive.

If the icon includes a (registered) trademark icon we follow the guidelines below to decide whether to include the symbol or not:
* If brand guidelines explicitly require including the symbol, it must be included.
* If the the brand itself includes the symbol with all uses of the logo, even at small sizes, it must be included.
* If the brand itself includes the symbol with all uses of the logo, even at small sizes, it must be included.
* If the symbol is incorporated into the design of the logo (e.g. [Chupa Chups](https://github.com/simple-icons/simple-icons/blob/develop/icons/chupachups.svg)), it must be included.
* If there is ambiguity about the conditions under which the symbol is required, it must be included if it is a _registered trademark symbol_ (®) but not if is a _trademark symbol_ (™).
* If brand guidelines say it _may_ be removed, usually when the icon is displayed at small sizes, it must not be included.

1. Export the icon as an SVG.
Some icons can't be easily converted to a monochromatic version due to colour changes, shadows, or other effects. For such cases the addition of gaps is the recommended approach, with a preferred width of 0.5px. In some situations a different gap may be required, but that will be determined on a per-case basis.

After optimizing the icon, double-check it against your original version to ensure no visual imperfections have crept in. Also make sure that the dimensions of the path have not been changed so that the icon no longer fits exactly within the canvas. We currently check the dimensions up to a precision of 3 decimal points.
