Icons won't Display! Substring Matching Attribute Selectors - "Begins With" and "Ends With"

I cannot get my icons to display. I've been looking at this code for 30 minutes and cannot see what's wrong with it. The code is listed below

/* Base Styles -------------------------------- */

body { font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; color: #384047; padding: 10px 0 80px; } div { max-width: 610px; margin: auto; } ul { list-style: none; padding: 0; } li { margin-bottom: 14px; } a { color: #4183c4; }

/* Substring Matching Attribute Selectors ---- */

a[href^="http:"] { color: #52bab3; text-decoration: none; background-repeat: none; background-size: 18px 18px; padding-left: 25px; }

a[href$=".pdf"] { background-image: url("../img/icn-pdf.svg"); }

a[href$=".jpg"] { background-image: url("../img/icn-picture.svg"); }

a[href$=".zip"] { background-image: url("../img/icn-zip.svg"); }
