Icons of all main payment operators and methods
- diafygi 11y agoCan I request an icon that shows the CVC code location? Pretty much every payment form has one, since for some reason people still don't know where that is. Example: https://utilityapi.com/static/media/images/graphics/cvc.svg https://utilityapi.com/static/media/images/graphics/cvc.svg
- zyxley 11y agoDon't forget, for AmEx it's four numbers on the front instead of three numbers on the back.

- phkahler 11y agoThose are really nice, but aren't some of those trademarked?
- dublinben 11y agoPretty much all of these will be trademarked.
- Someone1234 11y agoThey might be, but when you're using someone else's trademark to accurately represent their business, it may not be a trademark violation within itself. So for example, if I took Hacker News' Y but used it to link to Hacker News itself, that may not be a trademark violation as I am not either hurting the brand's reputation or misleading people into thinking an association exists with the brand. But ultimately it is up to a judge to decide what is or is not allowed. And you definitely don't want to take the "the ride" to find out that what you're doing is legal, it could still cost you tens of thousands of dollars. > Fair use may be asserted on two grounds, either that the alleged infringer is using the mark to describe accurately an aspect of its products, or that the alleged infringer is using the mark to identify the mark owner.[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark#Limits_and_defenses_to_claims_of_infringement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark#Limits_and_defenses_...
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoThe thing to do is check how the trademark owner feels. I believe Visa and MasterCard are fine with using their logos to show they're accepted (those stickers every store has are surely legal?), but remember that Microsoft don't let you use the word Windows in a product name, except in the form "for Windows".
- wavefunction 11y agoThese firms all have brand guidelines which are certainly not being followed/adhered to by this font. It's a nice effort but not a good idea to use in anything public.
- michaelmior 11y agoI think those stickers every store has are distributed by the Visa and Mastercard (or some vendor who has a direct association with them). In any case, it seems like a different situation if the source of the material is ultimately the business itself. In the case of this post, it's a third party with no formal association making use of the logo.

- vendocrat 11y agoI had reached out for all of them, but received no feedback of most them, neither via email nor twitter. Anyhow there are some who contacted me right away to thank me or to ask themselves to be included in PaymentFont. I see that trademark/copyright thing quite pragmatical. If one accepts a certain payment method or uses a certain payment operator/service, they will anyway put a sticker in their shop window or a logo on their website. If that happens in good will and context, why should the trademark holder sue you for that? Isn't that actually what they want people to do?
- crazygringo 11y agoThis is great. A great extension would be to have font symbols which represent parts of each symbol which are different colors, and then overlap them so they produce a colored logo -- and provide the CSS classes that will produce them.
- bcg1 11y agoNot "all main payment operators". More accurate title would be "many major payment operators". Not a big deal but it comes off as presumptuous to suggest that paymentfont.io is the arbiter of what a "main payment operator" is. Nice font though, and a good idea to create that, thanks.
- bergie 11y agoYeah, missing for instance M-Pesa
- vendocrat 11y ago@bergie, feel free to open a request: https://github.com/vendocrat/PaymentFont/issues https://github.com/vendocrat/PaymentFont/issues
- vendocrat 11y agoI most certainly don't intend to be presumptuous or anything like that. On the contrary, I've just created a font for a project of mine and gave it to the world for free, as I found it could be useful to some of you guys. I am well aware that PaymentFont is far from complete, so please feel free and contribute: https://github.com/vendocrat/PaymentFont/issues https://github.com/vendocrat/PaymentFont/issues
- lbarrow 11y agoNo Venmo?
- milankragujevic 11y agoI dislike font icons because they look horrible on Windows. You should provide a PNG download in multiple sizes, or a generator like http://fa2png.io/ http://fa2png.io/
- pokoleo 11y agoI've never heard of this problem, and it doesn't look like it's googlable. Screenshot?
- psychometry 11y agoWindows and OS X use different methods of hinting where Windows attempts to stay true to the typeface and OS X attempts to provide a provide a smoother, more readable version. Webkit browsers give you some level of control with subpixel rendering CSS attributes, but fonts might still look awful in Firefox or IE on Windows.
- subsection1h 11y agoIt's my understanding that it is Apple that attempts to preserve the design of the typeface, not Microsoft: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/06/12.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/06/12.html
- ss64 11y agoAlso Windows 8 uses subpixel positioned grayscale, rather than subpixel positioned ClearType. When you rotate a tablet by 90degrees ClearType doesn't work.
- JohnTHaller 11y agoNo, they don't. They looked horrible in Chrome for a long time because Chrome's rendering was screwed up unless you gave it fonts in a very specific order so it used SVG. Fun fact, Google Web Fonts never served it in that very specific order.
- Messiah_ 11y agoWhat is the advantage of using this over pngs?
- bdat 11y agoThey will scale well with high ppi screens.
- loopbit 11y agoTo be honest, the same can be said for svg images without the need to load a css file (4KB minified) plus a font file (55-230KB). Specially taking into account that most places will use only a few of these icons.
- bdat 11y agoI was only explaining the advantage over png. Great point about the use-case though. The average site is probably not going to offer 95 payment options/operators; a specialized svg library might be more appropriate.
- subsection1h 11y agoAn icon font generator/subsetting tool can produce a font file that includes only the icons that are needed.
- Brajeshwar 11y agoPNG is raster and so they do not scale on various sizes (various devices and their screen-sizes), not to mention of the retina display that one needs to take care. SVGs and/or Icon fonts are vector and scalable.
- phragg 11y agoOne extremely useful benefit is that you can change the text-size, color, etc just as you would with CSS on these fonts.
- iambot 11y agono gumtree but looks great otherwise.
- et1337 11y agoWhy on earth is the mouse over fade effect achieved via Flash?
- deleted 11y ago[deleted]
- pluma 11y agoProbably not the fade itself but the copy-to-clipboard functionality.
- _lce0 11y agoit's a terrible UX for those that have flash disabled by default
- culturestate 11y agoUnfortunately, Flash is (for now [1]) the only way to support click-to-copy in every major browser. 1. http://www.w3.org/TR/clipboard-apis/ http://www.w3.org/TR/clipboard-apis/
- pluma 11y agoI have click-to-play enabled, so I'm used to seeing small grey rectangles pop up when I hover over things. I think even GitHub does that.
- efrafa 11y agoSvg would be better, with font whole your logo can have just one colour.
- pimlottc 11y agoWhen did the bitcoin logo get all slanty?
- legulere 11y agoHmm the SEPA logo might not be enough as there's both SEPA wire transfers as well as SEPA direct debit (which is pretty awesome btw, because it cuts out unnecessary middle men).
- phragg 11y agoAwesome job, however, it would be nice if people contributed to a more widely used Icon Font library such as FontAwesome. Obviously to prevent multiple CSS/font file calls, etc.
- andrewmunsell 11y agoOn the contrary, if you only need a couple icons, having 1000+ different symbols in a single font library is unnecessary overhead as well.
- jmett 11y agoThis is awesome. A bit of picky user feedback - the "copied" overlay is cool, but I'd try fading out a little bit sooner - more of a snapshot effect.
- techaddict009 11y agoSeems like paypal donation link has not been setup properly. It says 0$
- veeeee 11y agoSeems like it just lets u decide how much u want to donate, theres a small field beneath where it says 0$
- sdm 11y agoA bit misleading title. It's more American/European payment provider focused. I don't see any of the main Chinese providers represented.
- imaginenore 11y agoI think you messed up the quality. http://i.imgur.com/RZzliBF.png http://i.imgur.com/RZzliBF.png Compare to the original: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/Bitcoin_logo.svg/1280px-Bitcoin_logo.svg.png http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/Bit...
- plumeria 11y agoWhat is the name of the font used to generate the paths for the bank transfer, cash on delivery and other text-based icons?
- veeeee 11y agoWhy aren't you guys just opening issues with Icon requests etc over at PaymentFont GitHub repo? Seems odd to me to just complain about missing operators, assuming one could know every single one on the earth...
