-# Simple Icons
-
-## Usage
-
-To include the coloured icons simple include the SVG. If you’d like to use colour the SVGs yourself you can add CSS to define `si-solid`, `si-translucent` and `si-transparent` classes. For example to set all icons to be white:
-
-```css
-.si-solid {
-	fill: white;
-}
-.si-translucent {
-	fill: white;
-	opacity: 0.5;
-}
-.si-transparent {
-	opacity: 0;
-}
-```
