  Are you referring to the social media icons in the top left of the theme?

  If so, those are displayed with CSS, and you can view the CSS used for that in the Social Icons section in Appearance -> Custom Design -> CSS, then click “View the original stylesheet for the Liquorice theme”.

  My best suggestion is to create the same sized single PNG image (122 x 79) with your custom icons, then you can update the background URL:

  a.twitter {
  	background: url(images/social-icons.png) -1px 0 no-repeat;
  }
  a.twitter:hover {
  	background: url(images/social-icons.png) -1px -39px no-repeat;
  }

  …to the File URL in your Media Library.
