Additional Comments

Even if this icon can be questionnable about if it represent a brand or not, I think accessibility shouldn't be an option.

As Tim Berners-Lee says:

The power of the web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.

The Accessible Icon Project is an ongoing work of design activism. It starts with a graphic icon, free for use in the public domain, and continues its work as a collaboration among people with disabilities and their allies toward a more accessible world.

@simple-icons/maintainers - thoughts? Its SimilarWeb rank is outside our inclusion criteria.

This one looks good to me, even if it does not reach our requirements.

Hope this one is helpful for a specific group of people.

Oh, it is a hard one! I surely love this project and the icon!

Unfortunately, I still think this is out of scope for this project which is for brand icons and logos. It would be a better fit for a general purpose icon pack such as Material Design Icons.

Make sense to me.

Based on the brief discussion above, I'll close this one down then. While obviously we agree with the sentiment of this icon being readily available, it does not represent a brand or service, which is the main purpose of this repository.
