Does anyone else find this ridiculous?
"And on Square’s homepage, the company depicts a user swiping a credit card on Square’s mobile reader using a Visa Signature card. It is telling that Square chose to feature Visa, when the reader accepts MasterCard, American Express and Discover, which are all widely used across the globe."
- Timothee 16y agoRidiculous in what sense? That it probably has nothing to do with it? Yeah, this is likely. However looking at said picture (https://squareup.com/ https://squareup.com/) I wouldn't say that there was necessarily something to it, but at least it's somewhat odd to use a card that is clearly a VISA from Chase. It wouldn't be very complicated to design an image that is clearly a credit card without putting other companies' logos.
- chc 16y agoEh, it's not really any more suspicious than depicting somebody using Windows rather than mocking up a generic OS. Visa is the most common credit card and Chase is the most common credit card issuer in the US. It could hardly be more ordinary.
- Timothee 16y agoDon't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's suspicious. What I mean is that, had it been me in, I would have probably picked a "no name" representation of a credit card.
- zbrock 16y agoNope, that was definitely intentional. We pay attention to every detail here.

- masklinn 16y agoNo. The home page very clearly shows the VISA logo (though it's inverted, it's trivial to read). They could have chosen a generic credit card depiction (a credit card without identifiable marks), they went with visa. I don't think the guy is reaching much here.
