| Field | SVGLsvgl.app | Fontsharefontshare.com | Google Fontsfonts.google.com |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Browsable library of several hundred company and product logos as SVGs, grouped by category — AI, software, crypto, design, hosting. One click copies the markup, with full-colour, wordmark, and light or dark variants where they exist. The project is MIT licensed and exposes a public API. | Free font service from the Indian Type Foundry offering a small, tightly curated set of contemporary families — Satoshi, General Sans, Clash Display, Cabinet Grotesk and similar — many with variable versions. Serve from their CDN or download the files and self-host. | Library of open-source typefaces, almost all under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 with a handful under Apache 2.0. Serve them from Google's CDN, self-host the files, or bundle them into a native app. Includes variable fonts and the Material Symbols icon set. |

| Why builders pick it | Better than Simple Icons when you need a logo in its real brand colours or with the wordmark attached — think a pricing comparison table or an 'integrates with' strip on a landing page. | The quickest way to stop looking like every other Google Fonts site. A handful of these faces read as expensive typography while costing nothing, which is exactly the trade a solo builder wants. | Zero-cost, zero-friction type that is legally safe in commercial products, including ones you sell. Self-hosting a subset via Fontsource or next/font also kills a render-blocking third-party request. |
| Watch out for | The MIT licence covers the project's code, not the logos, which remain their owners' trademarks. Contributors are only asked to check rights before submitting, so verify each brand's own guidelines before you ship one. | The ITF licence covers personal and commercial use and embedding in sites and apps, but you may not resell or redistribute the font files themselves. Check the terms per family — some are free cuts of larger paid families. | Serving from Google's CDN sends visitor IP addresses to Google, which a German court ruled a GDPR violation — self-host the files if you have EU traffic. The OFL also bars selling the font files on their own and reserves certain names for modified versions. |
| How to wire it up | not logged | not logged | npm i @fontsource/inter, or import from next/font/google |
