Social Share Links with Custom Icons

Question

I'm looking for any solid current information on creating custom share icons for the following.

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Google +
• LinkedIn
• Pinterest

All the documentation I keep getting to seems to be about using THEIR social like / share buttons - which most of the time I think are not very appealing. Things like socialite.js help to deal with some of the other issues that arrise when using the "native" like / share buttons (sorry not sure what else to call them), but they're not very pretty to be honest.

Any reference material / tutorials or guidance would be awesome.

Cheers.
