 * Just adding,
 * The custom icons doesn’t align right with the original icons from the theme, 
   so I uploaded a image for Facebook and Youtube as well.
 * Doing this, the Social link duplicates the icons (one for the upload and another
   for the theme). To hide te icons do the following:
 * – In style.css edit the **content** of the url reference:
 * **Before**
 *     ```
       .social-widget a[href*="facebook.com"]::before,
       .social-navigation li a[href*="facebook.com"]::before {
       	content: '\f082';
       }
       ```
   
 * **After**
 *     ```
       .social-widget a[href*="facebook.com"]::before,
       .social-navigation li a[href*="facebook.com"]::before {
       	content: '';
       }
       ```

 * Thanks for the answer.
 * I’ve managed to find a way to solve the problem.
    I made a few alterations in
   the header.php: on the social menu nav tag, I copied and pasted the main navigation
   menu code, so the CSS definitions still applies and my custom icons also work.
 * Just in case someone else also want to personalize icons:
 * – In header.php do the following:
    **Before:**
 *     ```
       <?php if ( has_nav_menu( 'social' ) ) : ?>
       	<nav class="social-navigation clearfix">
       		<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'social',
       		'link_before' => '<span class="screen-reader-text">',
       		'link_after' => '</span>', 'menu_class' => 'menu clearfix',
       		'fallback_cb' => false ) ); ?>
       	</nav>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * **After**
 *     ```
       <nav id="social-navigation" class="social-navigation" role="navigation">
       	<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'social' ) ); ?>
       </nav>
       ```
   
 * I’m using the _Nav Menu Images_ plugin for the icons on navigation menu.
 * PS: Amazing theme.
