On my website I use the icons of Instagram and Telegram as inline SVG images. If I do so, the color of the Telegram icon is destroyed. If I remove the Instagram icon the color is fine. How can I display both icons in the right color?

A JSFiddle example could be found here:

https://jsfiddle.net/0oLt4dyw/

And the original code is here:

  1. You are using id to set the colors with url(#a) and url(#b), but you aren’t setting a unique id

    In the Telergram SVG, I changed <linearGradient id="a" x1=".667" x2=".417" y1=".167" y2=".75"><stop offset="0" stop-color="#37aee2"/> to <linearGradient id="e" x1=".667" x2=".417" y1=".167" y2=".75"><stop offset="0" stop-color="#37aee2"/>. Note the id=. Same situation with <linearGradient id="b" x1=".66" x2=".851" y1=".437" y2=".802"><stop offset="0" stop-color="#eff7fc"/><stop offset="1" stop-color="#fff"/> I changed id="b" to id="f".

    I think once a color ID is set, it can’t be changed. If you look at the errors in the JSFiddle, it says you need to use a unique id.

  2. If someone else facing the issue. And does not have an id. Check for the class of particular functionality and rename it.(Make sure to update the same through out the svg code)
