Icon request: credit card #14837

Closed aloisdg closed 5 years ago

aloisdg commented 5 years ago

Hello,

There is a lot of credit cards supported by this awesome project. Some new or more specific players gain a lot of traction and it would be awesome to see them included. This project ask for a request for an icon, unless strictly related icons. I think all credit card are strictly related and it make sense to group them together.

Please make requests for single icons, unless you are requesting a couple of strictly related icons (e.g., thumbs-up/thumbs-down).

CONTRIBUTING.md#requesting-new-icons

Here is a quick list. Feel free to link any relevent missing issue. I will keep this post updated.

Maestro

We already have an up-to-date MasterCard icon. Lets have this one too!

Rupay

In India, 90% of credit card transactions and almost all debit card transactions are domestic; however, the cost of transactions was high due to the dominance of foreign card schemes like Visa and Mastercard. RuPay facilitates electronic payment at all Indian banks and financial institutions.

InterPayment

Previous issue: #14840

I didn't find any logo about InterPayment card. The official website talked about InterPayment card as a FIS Debit Card. FIS provides financial software, world-class services and global business solutions. There is no mention of InterPayment on FIS' Wikipedia's page and on FIS' official website. They are linked on Twitter. I think we could contact @FisGlobal about this.

Thank you for all the good work.

Cheers,

What can it be used for?

If the other credit cards are relevant so does those. Russia and China mainly have their own provider. Currently, we exclude them by not supporting their cards. Others countries like India are also impacted by this. There is a lot of russian in Goa (Nice place to visit btw). 😄

Icon request checklist

Hi @aloisdg

Thanks for this list, but those brands are not strictly related and have different popularity, so it is better to have individual requests for each of them

Feel free to open individual requests for the missing brands

Closing here

Hello @tagliala,

I am currently opening issues for missing card. How do you measure popularity of each card? They are not MasterCard or Visa but each have their own usage and userbase (most who are nor westerners nor english speakers).

Sorry for the breaking of the strictly related policy, I thought that those card were related enough.

Thank you for your quick answer by the way. You are fast! :)

They are not MasterCard or Visa but each have their own usage and userbase (most who are nor westerner nor english speaker).

I know that and I respect each userbase.

If you take a look at https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22payment+%28category%29%22+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc, you will see a list of requests labeled with "payment" sorted by reactions: that could be considered our list. In fact, if a future release of Font Awesome will focus on payment methods, we can count on a dedicated leaderboard. This helps the team in either tracking requests and respecting upvotes of individual requests.

I hope that the clarification is useful, but I also have to say that the popularity of each single payment method does matter. If someone needs a not so widespread payment method, customization is the fastest way. And with the SVG framework, adding a new svg icon is as easy as writing few lines of JavaScript

This is a great news! Thanks for your comment. I will see what to do with the less popular ones.

tagliala commented 5 years ago

@aloisdg if you need all the payment methods because your application is focused on payment methods, it is much like a "weather application" situation, as described in the customization guide:

Said so, if you need a new icon in a short while, or you need a comprehensive set of icons (e.g., a set of weather icons to build a forecast application) our suggestion is to customize Font Awesome.

emphasis mine

We eventually included a lot of weather icons, but they could not be enough for a complex weather application (e.g.: application with lunar phases, application with different wind strengths, etc.)

@tagliala it make sense.
