Please add Slack as an SVG icon in twentyseventeen social media menu.

Thanks

Here's my patch to add slack icon

Sorry, please disregard the first patch, this is the correct one

Hey @carl-alberto – thanks for the request!

I'm curious what you'd link to for a Slack icon?

I'm mostly against adding other icons at this point, unless the network is very large, or there is a high demand. That said, I'm closing this as I don't see adding this unless there's more demand.

Hi @davidakennedy

We'll be linking it to our local WP Community Slack from our local WP community site, it would be nice to have that icon though.

Thanks!

Just came across this as I also need to add in Slack as a social media item for a project I'm doing. Wanted to +1 this it is more than just @carl-alberto who needs this but i understand this might be a subset of world-wide industry and probably woudl be better as a plugin extension.

A SVG Slack icon was added to dashicons a while ago:

​https://github.com/WordPress/dashicons/commit/199c64751f51926bcb26e52a384331e5ef2326a9

It not publicly published on ​https://developer.wordpress.org/resource/dashicons/ though (There are numerous "reserved" dashicons not published similar to this)

For anyone who needs to extend Twentyseventeen to include Slack icon in the social menu now, and found this thread using a search engine ( That's how i ended up here), I created a little plugin: ​https://github.com/missjwo/twentyseventeen-social-slack

It would be cool if there was a way to add in extra svg files to the original list and then they can run through all eth svg files - so people can just extend the SVGs used as they need. I couldn't really work it out, so this replaces the original svg with a file which includes the Slack icon.
