It looks like Simple Icons might have removed the LinkedIn icon form their set. I can't find it on their website

[kushagra-xo]

that's a bummer, is there any workaround as of right now?

I've encountered the same issue and implemented a fix that now supports using full URL images. Check it out here:

Simple Icons did indeed remove LinkedIn, per M$ request:

simple-icons/simple-icons#11372

I like the solution provided by @va2ron1 which seems to allow specifying urls with fall back to Simple Icons, but I haven't tested it yet.

What is the solution for this, Can @va2ron1 solution be merged

Heyy, is this being worked on?

Trying to think of other solutions to this. It's an unfortunate situation that Simple Icons was struck down by Microsoft, and choosing any other icon library could lead to the same fate. I am exploring @va2ron1's solution right now, just need to ensure it's a secure solution and also that it doesn't break the layout of the resume (for example, providing an image URL that is extremely large).

@AmruthPillai It looks like you already limited the image size with <img> attributes.

I think what is more important is that external resources may have tracking.

As LinkedIn's policy mentioned:

The only use of LinkedIn brand features that is permitted without a separate agreement is that if you are a LinkedIn member, you may use the “in” Logo to designate a link to your personal profile or to a Group or Company page or to promote you or your organization’s presence on LinkedIn.

This is fine for users linking to their profiles.

So that you can consider storing the image asset to your project (under your public directory).
