Font-awesome: Icon request: icon-discord [will be available in Font Awesome 5]

Created on 30 Sep 2015  ·  402Comments  ·  Source: FortAwesome/Font-Awesome

Hey,

I want the logo of Discord as an Font-Awesome icon. I would use it on serval websites to allow people to easily join our Discord Lobby.

It would be cool if theres one icon in the speech bubble (like in the favicon) and one icon just the controller: https://discordapp.com/

Best regards,
Sidcode

If Discord is to be added, Teamspeak might as well be added too. This issue should be consolidated to include VoIP programs which are popular among the gaming community.

To add on a little, if-and-when this is added, I'd appreciate if it follows the way of the other branding icons - specifically, with a square variant that lines up with the others.

I'd do that myself, but I have no idea how to even start, so..

@ryankane the reason teamspeak has been such a long request but has never been fulfilled is because teamspeak is really strict about who is allowed to distribute their brand (even logo) discord however is a little more laxed and their PR team actually responds so FA has a much higher chance of a discord logo then the ts logo ever did. also +1

Discord Partner checking in. If permission is an issue, I'd be more than happy to ask on FA's behalf.

+1

Hi. Person from @hammerandchisel (the people who make Discord) here. We're cool w/ including the Discord App logo in FA & this seems to be the most :+1:'ed issue here. Feel free to include it in your next release. The press kit and branding guide have been linked a bunch of times above.

Come on, it's almost been a year

It's probably just a waiting game now to see who backs their kickstarter and pays to get their icon in the pack https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/232193852/font-awesome-5

For a measly $200 you can get your icon in the pack...

Well, this issue was created over a year ago; it will most likely never happen.

Maybe, but it _does_ have the most thumbs up!

I'm sure they'll get around to it eventually - this issue hasn't been closed or marked as wontfix so far.

It still has hope :D

+millions for my site's user base.

@jerek "estimated"

@nullpixel1 Client-side blocking is super popular among our users, even of GA.

Point is: lots of users who we want to show FA Discord icons to. :P

@jerek welp

Volvo give Discord icon to FA
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

+1, Discord is popular and has OAuth, could be used for login buttons.

👍

You should change the title to fa-discord as per @ryankane's comment and I would even go as far as editing the issue itself with his comment. The initial text doesn't even reference /branding :(

Yo, be sure to check out this page (Discord's rules for using their branding) https://discordapp.com/branding

Definitely would love to see this feature.

This would be wonderfully useful. Let's see it happen.

Anyday now

+1 and one of the discord devs suggested it as well https://pvpcraft.ca/i/0kvv3.png (not saying it falls under acceptable use of their branding stuff and whatever)

Post was created on 30 Sep 2015, people like the idea, 2 years later, still they didn't add the icon... Great...

Deazl opened this issue on Sep 30, 2015

Just sayin'

It's been on a huge curve upwards for a while. Hopefully this will get added soon as well as the Linux distribution icons like Arch Linux etc.

+1

How have they not added the icon yet? :/

+1

+1

Is there some licensing or acceptable use issue preventing it from moving forward? Or is this a typical wait time for adding new icons?

@ds-terrytate I assume the devs are not even checking github anymore? It's been 2 years.. That's the only legit explanation..

@SausageParty69 The last commit was relatively recent; I'd say they probably have a huge backlog of icons to look over

There does seem to be something different about this one though. People keep pointing out how this issue is older and gotten more community attention than others, yet the devs are apparently not doing it or even communicating about it. Maybe there's just something wrong with this issue in GitHub. If we could reach one of them through other means maybe we could at least get an answer and be sure they know about it.

+1

+1

I sent them an e-mail. Hopefully they'll see it and act.

We have 150 +1's, and that's not including messages that agree and do not contain a +1. It seems like this just isn't going to be added. Shame.

So any update on this? :D lol it been 528 days, since it was first requested

It makes no sense the mods are closing all icon requests and directing it to this one, when this one has been open for 529 days. OP obviously doesn't check it...

I'm surprised this logo was not in already. Hope to find it in soon :)

Is there someone that just needs to get bugged about it?

This has been requested by a few people on the private font-awesome repo which is available to backers of the new project, just so you guys know.

@aliasfalse Seems like it. A Discord developer even replied up above saying it was cool, and the logo is available in the press kit.

Do it ! +1 👍

+1

Is there any update on this every being done, would be great to have it for our forums.

+1 Definitely would really love this.

As said above, any updates in this issue - icon request?

Guys, it's painful to watch it, bunch of people asking for a single icon for year. It's 30 min of work after all.

Let's say they're licensed under Good Boy License. If you're enterprise and your lawyers hate broad terms, let's double-license it under MIT.

Discord is here

I'm beginning a campaign, giving away the top requests for FA icons for free, open source. You can incorporate them in a number of ways: generating another icon font, svg set, or (my preference) compiling all FA and third party icons into a single file.

Yesterday it was moderator. Please let me know if you want me keep going these icon requests, or compile some upgrade file, or how should we do it?

@visualpharm We've been asking for two years. Fuck fontawesome

I actually lost faith into FA implementing this, which may be because of that payed FA. At all thats sad because this Is like the Most wanted icon. (I Need it,too)

@TheMinorTom Same.. Font's got bathtubs and stuff.. Yet not a discord icon...

@TheMinorTom same, ik loads of people that would use this.

+1 How many +1's do you guys need to finally implement 2 year old request?!

Like, they don't even give a f*ck about what users say...

Do you guys have any idea how big this project is? :P

I know, it's frustrating, I'd love to see this icon as much as anyone else here - but they're currently working on Fort Awesome, on the new Font Awesome crowdfunded project, and frankly the Discord logo is very difficult to fit into the same type of icon font (I've given a few goes at it and it always looks far too small).

It'll happen, there's no doubt about that, but there's a lot of logistics involved. Just add your +1 to the reactions on the first comment, and if you really can't wait, use Icomoon to make a small custom icon font with the Discord logo in it to tide yourself over.


EDIT: As noted in #10936 - don't forget that the Discord branding guidelines require you to use the square "speech bubble" version of the logo!

@gdude2002 , I am font-editor myself as well and adding a new font from existing SVG is 10-15 mins tops, and that's when you have to check every point in vector and fix a lot of errors. Size of the icon is irrelevant as well: it's a vector and giving appropriate font-size will give you the size required. I never understand why developers tend to exaggerate making small works look enormous by adding unnecessary bureaucracy to open software world. After all, c'mon mate, it's nothing big or serious here, it's bloody fonts. I can reassemble whole font-awesome set from existing SVGs or other types of vectors (which is the same work FontAwesome authors mostly do anyway) in 24 hrs. Noone is re-inventing the wheel here.

There's a little more than font-size to it, the actual speech-bubble part of the icon makes it hard to see the actual discord logo within unless you make all your containers big enough to use the larger versions of the icons - which is kind of annoying, to say the least.

Yeah, I agree with the extra bureaucracy stuff, there's definitely an awful lot of that going around lately. That said, well, a project with this many users attracts comment threads like what you see above - How would you address that? Do you think you could make everyone happy with a response?

If you wanted, you could add the icon yourself and submit a PR! You have the skillset, so it would take you maybe 20 minutes, right? That would probably help to accelerate this issue.

Except that the PR Guidelines dont allow this.

Thing is @gdude2002 , I already submitted PR regarding some other icon in past, and it was rejected on basis that "we are working on new version". And again mate, both of us know you are making no sense regarding speech-bubble and what not: Discord logo is what it is, so you will have to implement it AS IT IS, no questions asked, otherwise it will be legally problematic. As I said, it's a task of minutes and you don't even need to do it yourself: just throw an email to Discord team themselves, ask for an SVG or AI, and import it. Few tweaks there, few tweaks here, and glyph will be ready in 30 mins tops, with all laziness and yawning included :)

What makes me angry is the fact that, an open source developer/team, when attracted this level of usage and popularity, should also understand the responsibility it brings and gravity of situation. We are not children here: if you took up this task, please either do it to the end, or pass the flag to those who will. Now I am stuck with this font package because it's used all over my project, the same as millions of other projects, and I must sit and wait for one stupid glyph for months. Why?! There is no concrete reason for that to happen. For God's sake, TWO YEARS for a glyph?!

  • At the moment we are not accepting pull requests containing icons

Huh. Didn't realise that. Kind of an odd policy.


Yeah, it's a long time, and I do have to wonder what they were doing in that time. That said, it seems they're aware of this ticket, at least. There must be a reason they haven't done it yet.

}

@smartclash The funny part is that it'll loop forever as you're using i-- and the number would never get to 20

I think that's the idea.

Lol, that's why I changed it already @Guichaguri

Ye, after two years, FA's pretty much dead.. Sad to see, that icon requests are not getting through..

So any news on this one?

@TheMinorTom Hey, as per the FA guidelines, users should post +1 instead of reactions because github still does not allow you to filter as per the number of reactions.

So, the more the +1 posts are available, they will be prioritized when they are filtered using the github web interface. If you don't want any notifications, then kindly unfollow/mute this discussion :)

users should post +1 instead of reactions because github still does not allow you to filter as per the number of reactions.

Nope, you should add 👍 reaction because we can now sort by reaction :)

From: https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#requesting-new-icons (emphasis mine)

  • Please search to see if your icon request already exists. If a request is found, please add a 👍 reaction to that one.

Hmm, I didn't know that. Thanks @tagliala

@tagliala any movement that you're aware of? would like to clean the plugin I contribute to with using this FA icon, instead of just a generic padlock icon.

Your code will not run infinite man, variable "i" will turn into positive when it reaches its maximum value. You better go with while true.

And +1 for this Why is this not in font awesome yet guys? :( Hurry!
while(true) { this.Issue.addComment('+1'); }

@azarus Nope, that seems to be Java. Java will clamp the value when it reaches -2147483648, never going below or above this number

This is getting kinda offtopic, try not to do that or the issue might get locked :P

Nah, if the Issue gets locked for us joking about not getting an Comment from FA for years, we should just leave FA.

@gdude2002 Creating PRs is not the only reason to fork it. You can fork it and leave the commits in a fork if anyone wants it

Well i mean someone may make a fork of FA then push all the usefull commits into it. FA seems pretty dead and slowly growing for me. I'd be happy to use a fork of FA that gets all the pretty stuff in it.

You guys may want to know that something nice was added to Font Awesome 5. It's only available to backers, so I'm not going to give the actual image, but...

EDIT: Oh, and @TheMinorTom the FA5 help page suggests that there will be a free version - but I can't say either way whether this icon will be in it.

@gdude2002 yeah not planning to pay for this so it would be nice if it gets added.

But I dont think it will be.

Starting to feel like this ticket is getting very redundant.

Font-Awesome 5 will have a Discord icon.

We don't know if it will be in the free version or not, but it has already been created and is already available to backers. It has been implemented. When FA-5 releases, you will have the option to use it.

For Just 99.99$ or whatever it will be…

When FA-5 releases, you will have the option to use it.

It is ridiculous that this is still not available.

Really @alfonsomarzano - it's ridiculous that the people who give us 600+ icons, free for anything don't add every icon we request?

This is an amazing package they give us for free - designing 5 icons would easily take me a couple hours, so this package saves me around $20 of my time in every project I make - and I expect the same applies to most people here.

People in these threads seem to think that the maintainers owe us something - it's quite the opposite.

There's a Discord icon in Font Awesome 5...

FA4 is basically unmaintained, why would they spend time on it when they
are working on something new that will replace it?

@inventor It's kinda sad if they already have icon but won't backport it. Not every site owner has $40 to throw at a license for something they barely use.

Might be included in free version for all we know ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I don't think they owe us anything, but the icon has already been made and there are 393 +1 comments in the thread. It would take virtually no effort to include it in FA4 so that we can use it right away.

If it’s not worth $40 then the other option is to design it yourself. Why would the maintainers give it all away for free - if all the icons you need are in the free version, you’re not going to pay for it - and then the maintainers aren’t going to be able to buy coffee or pizza.

FA5 doesn't have quite the same visual style, it'd look pretty out of place

why it's not included yet?

Hi, thanks for all your reactions to this request!

This icon will be included in the upcoming Font Awesome 5 Free. 🎉

I'm going to close this request for management purposes

Regards

Are all 400 of you incapable of adding this font yourself? It took me 15 minutes to figure out the process and about 3 minutes to actually do it. No wonder Dave Gandy and the rest of the Font Awesome team have to monetize this. I feel for you and am sorry, what a horrible community. I've added it to my fork if anyone needs it before FA5 is released.

https://github.com/AndrewBelt/Font-Awesome

Unfortunately I was unable to find a script in that time to generate fonts from a folder full of SVGs, so it is hacked into each of the font files. I imagine something is used internally to do this.

Can we get this issue locked?

Would you like me to remove my contribution?
