Responsive & clean footer design

A recreation & redevelop of the footer at Pavilion. I used some flex display trickery to stick it at the bottom and for the responsiveness. Overall, I love the colors, and the responsive logic is incredibly simple. Also, I'm in love with flex. I'll never go back to floats or tables again!

//autoprefixer & reset used
//Tested on Chrome, Firefox, IE11, and iOS.  The responsiveness & the social section is a bit off on IE11.  I'm looking to fix that.
