Social Media Hover Icons

Hey guys

I'm trying to find a good tutorial on creating social media icons that change color when a user hover over them much like the ones found on Brent Galloway's site (http://brentgalloway.me/) I am have been trying to find a good tutorial for weeks and I just can't find one.

Thanks :)

Stu

For social icons i use http://icomoon.io/ you can create a vector font of all the icons that you wish to use. you can then use CSS to style all icons. you can treat them just like any text, therefore you can make them any size or colour. you can also add a background and border-radius to make them oval, round or square.

you can also use CSS to and a :hover state and change any of the attributes you want.

Hope this helps Brett
