    Not "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.

    Those are really nice, but aren't some of those trademarked?

    Awesome 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.

    A bit misleading title. It's more American/European payment provider focused. I don't see any of the main Chinese providers represented.

    Why 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...

    This 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.

    Hmm 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).

    Can 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

    Svg would be better, with font whole your logo can have just one colour.

    Why on earth is the mouse over fade effect achieved via Flash?

    This 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.

    What is the name of the font used to generate the paths for the bank transfer, cash on delivery and other text-based icons?

    Seems like paypal donation link has not been setup properly. It says 0$

    What is the advantage of using this over pngs?

    When did the bitcoin logo get all slanty?

    No Venmo?

    no gumtree but looks great otherwise.

    I 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/
