Custom Icons urgently needed. Are there any workarounds to use images instead AND provide good mobile experience?

Icons (especially Social Media Icons) nowadays should be common and are a must-have. They are used by many users and thus are urgently needed assets on a website. Yet it is still not possible to create boxes to insert both custom icons & text (making it suitable for mobile too). The brizy in-house offered icons are far too less & outdated (no facebook, no tiktok, etc... and only available as abstracts, not the real ones)

Therefore following questions:

1. What options do I have here currently? Is there a possible workaround?
2. When will there be an opportunity to upload a custom set of icons? Is this planned as a feature yet?

Goal Example:

{TikTok Icon}  {Text}     >> next to each other in one column, suitable for mobile and desktop

  Hi Mateo,

  Thank you for contacting us.

  We regret to inform you that our current icon library does not include the requested updates.  Our team is actively working on developing these features, and we aim to include them in our future updates.

  Unfortunately, we do not have a viable workaround to offer for this issue at the moment. Additionally, the option to upload custom icons is also planned for inclusion in our upcoming releases.

  We apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience. If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, please feel free to let us know.

  Best regards,
  Ariel H.

  Hi Mateo,

  You can create an icon box design using Rows, Columns and images. Please have a look at this page https://digital-works.brizy.site/iconbox

  If you have a design you want to implement, please share it. I will try and implement the design using Rows/ columns and images and give you a ZIP file you can import to your project.

  Hi! Thanks for answer @Ariel.H When will the feature be available?
  
  First of all @KC George, i cannot find the content on the page you are referring to. Its basically empty.

  

  I also did the exact same thing, but it does not perform on mobile, does it? Mobile performance is crucial tho. Can you show me your suggested implementation for both, mobile and desktop?
  
  Cheers!

  Looking good, but how do you fix the size of the images on mobile? For me it looks like this for Desktop (fine):
  But like this for mobile (the image which is in this case only the instagram image will lose its size:

  Hey :)

  Nice, it was actually the work of aligning all of the icons in mobile separately, whereas for the icons embedded in text this goes automatically and is for sure the better solution! Hope you gonna fix that long term. For now: thank you very much for your great support!

  Kind regards!
