Feature Request: Add new style for social: `?style=social`

[chrimaho]

Feature Request

Q	A
New Feature	yes
RFC	yes
BC Break	unknown

Summary

You currently have these styles, and they are very useful:

style	demo
flat
flat-square
plastic
for-the-badge

However, shields.io has one other style available: social. See more info here.

For example:

style	demo
flat
flat-square
plastic
for-the-badge
social

But when I try to use this for Profile Views:
![](https://komarev.com/ghpvc/?username=chrimaho&style=social)

Can you please also add this ?style=social function to your repo?

Also related to this issue on another repo.

Thank you!

Hi @chrimaho
you suggest to add a simple social badge without octocat or with octocat?
I'm asking this because this library is agnostic to external context such as the github logo. It is meant to be fully configurable on content and colors, adding the github logo by default would imply a coupling.
Do not you think?

@chrimaho I recommend you to remove the rendered counter from the message. Otherwise your profile view increments on thread open and on each page refresh ))

My above example is just one example.

Here are some more examples:

I understand, @chrimaho do you want to try to make a PR?

[chrimaho]

@JellyBellyDev , I would like to, but I'm afraid I don't know which part of your repo would need to be changed to facilitate this new feature. I'm not very experienced in the php language.

@chrimaho ok, no problem! I'll try it as soon as I have some time! ;)
