tamsinblack commented 6 years ago

What can it be used for?

Icon request checklist

[X ] This is a single icon
[X ] The title starts with "Icon request: " and is followed by the requested icon name (Ex: Icon request: magical-unicorn)
[X] I have searched for existing issues and to the best of my knowledge this is not a duplicate
[X ] I have included at least one example image if it could be helpful (optional)
[X] The request is for a concrete object (it's harder to make an icon to represent happiness, it's easier to make a smiley face. ☺)

Hi!

Thanks for being part of the Font Awesome Community.

Is this a duplicate of #3574 ?

tamsinblack commented 6 years ago

Hi tagliala,

They do look similar, but they are different (I might even say they are legally different icons). If only the house portion is made into a FA (as users on 3574 suggested) then fa-eh could be used for either "opportunity" or "lender" with users supplying the final text below it.

Thanks for checking!

The Equal Housing opportunity means that a buyer or a renter of a home can't be discriminated against by real estate agents or Apartment/Condo complexes. Those would be displayed by those conveying the property to the occupant. The Equal Housing Lender applies to a different group, to mortgage professionals, which applies to the mortgage process. It shows that they don't intend to discriminate. In the law, the display of these symbols is a show of good faith that those who are behind the decisions do intend to not discriminate. I think both designs would be a great addition to FA.
