I am using modernCV to build my CV along with pdflatex i wanted to add a skype logo to that.So on my first search i found that the easy way is to use fontawesome along with XeLaTeX but when i tried to use XeLatex all my resume changed to text without any graphics so i avoided that. From this thread Skype Icon in the CV template?

i understood that adding this will bring a skypelogo to footer but this didnt work with my tex file. The threads example brings skype logo to footer and i dont want logo at footer.
