Looks good, when getting this coded make sure to have it responsive to screen resolution. It's definitely in-line with current design standards, but make sure it gets coded correctly, you might want your designer to design a mobile-friendly version of this that fits well with iPhone and Galaxy ranges.
I'd recommend you make space for other sharing options like twitter, linkedin, reddit, stumbleupon etc. Plus, get your designer to design the footer into this since you'll need several links in your footer to a contact page, privacy policy, etc.
