When making a shield.io badge, is there a way to find the right way to reference a logo name?

Question

I just started trying to use shield.io badges today. I'm a little confused.

When I needed to use the C++ logo in a label I used the following request:

https://img.shields.io/badge/C++-%2300599C.svg?&style=for-the-badge&logo=c%2B%2B&logoColor=white

Which yielded a label with a logo, as intended.

I expected it to be logo=c-plus-plus and through trial and error I eventually found out that I should use the encoding for the + sign, %2B.

Now I can't find the logo for Selenium, although it is clearly on the simple-vector list (https://simpleicons.org/icons/selenium.svg) and there's nothing odd about this name, no spaces or signs, so I don't know how to find it. logo=selenium should work but it doesn't.

This is what I'm trying: https://img.shields.io/badge/selenium-%2343B02A.svg?&style=for-the-badge&logo=selenium&logoColor=white And what I get is a label without logo. Any thoughts?

PS: I don't have enough reputation to post images so I can't include the resulting images in the text but you can copy the link to see what I mean.

Answer 1

You should follow the url structure fully https://img.shields.io/badge/<LABEL>-<MESSAGE>-<COLOR>. The color property seems wrong.

For Selenium logo request could be like this (without message) https://img.shields.io/badge/selenium-43B02A.svg?&style=for-the-badge&logo=selenium&logoColor=white.

The parameter for the C++ logo should be cplusplus and the color should be 00599C like https://img.shields.io/badge/C++-00599C.svg?&style=for-the-badge&logo=cplusplus&logoColor=white
