Description

### Description

I see that this repository adds only one icon library, aside of SimpleIcons used by shields.io, which is a shame.

**Is there a possibility of adding more icon libraries?** I understand that this increase bandwidth or cause other issues, nonetheless I dare to say that amounts of icons in the Octicons library may be insufficient for some cases, since there are only around 250 of them, which - compared to library used by shields - *feels* like a small fraction.

Here is a table (sorted by stars amount) containing worth-checking repositories with icons:
| Supported | Repository | Author | Icons1 | Stars | Primary Language | License |
|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|
| #959 | [feather](https://github.com/feathericons/feather) | [feathericons](https://github.com/feathericons) | 1953 | 23787 | `84.3%` JavaScript | MIT |
| | [ionicons](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionicons) | [ionic-team](https://github.com/ionic-team) | 1338 | 17032 | `76.7%` TypeScript | MIT |
| | [tabler-icons](https://github.com/tabler/tabler-icons) | [tabler](https://github.com/tabler) | 4619 | 15862 | `56.3%` HTML | MIT |

1 - esmaited amount, counted from repository files

If introduced - what I'm looking straightforward to - libraries in URLs can be distinguished by their names.
- `logo=paintbrush` -> `logo=octicons-paintbrush`
