[Tex/LaTex] Skype icon on moderncv

moderncv

I am using moderncv with classic style.

I wrote my personal info on the top of the page, precisely on the left of my picture. I need to write my linkedln and skype account in the same line so as not to overcome one page for my CV.
How can I create skype icon ?
How can I write both the info of linkedln and skype on the same line with a short space in the middle?

Thank you

Edit Since the OP was not able to add the code from the comment, I do it for him/her in this 'outstanding' case. (C.Hupfer)

My suggests are to follow the guidelines presented in Skype Icon in the CV template? in order to obtain a viable S-Logo symbol. Then include the LinkedIn and Skype symbols as part of the \extrainfo content where you have more control over the placement of things:

\newsavebox{\skypeicon}
\savebox{\skypeicon}{\includegraphics[height=.8\baselineskip]{example-image}}% https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/172191/5764
\newcommand{\skypesocialsymbol}{\usebox{\skypeicon}}

\extrainfo{\linkedinsocialsymbol~XXXX \quad \skypesocialsymbol~XXXX \\
  Born in XXX (XXX), on June XX, XXX \\ Car owner, License Drive A, B} %

In the above code snippet, there is no usage of \social and \skypeicon relies on getting an image from the linked post.

Here is an example using a tikz approach:
