Font-awesome: Icon Request: Video game Console (xbox, playstation) [will be available in FA5]
I started using Font Awesome on my blog and it's, well, awesome, but I'd love to have a set of game console/platform icons I could use. I'm talking about stuff like PC, PlayStation, DS, etc., possibly even distribution platforms, such as Steam, GOG, etc.
I tried using the search for this, but I got nothing. Sorry if I'm just repeating another issue.

With many responsive sites wishing to show icons for phone, tablet, laptop and desktop, a game console icon (and a TV one) would also be very welcome additional to this amazing tool you have created for us.

@tagliala These video game issues (consoles, steam, origin, teamspeak, ventrillo, mumble) are gaining quite a bit of interest. Any way we could get these soon? I've been waiting for over 6 months on these, and others have been waiting even longer.
aequasi
on 27 Sep 2014
@aequasi I don't know. It depends on many things. If you need those icons, you should consider a custom build of fontawesome at http://fontello.com/ http://icomoon.io/app/#/select or http://fontastic.me/

+1 for Xbox and Playstation icons
For Xbox, something like this:
For PlayStation, something like this:
Alternatively/Additionally, you could do the PlayStation Network logo. It would be more descriptive for a link to someone's PSN profile, but perhaps less recognizable:
For Nintendo Network, something like this:

And not to forget the Windows logo for PC games.
jackennils
on 11 Dec 2014
@jackennils http://fontawesome.io/icon/windows/
aequasi
on 11 Dec 2014
Also, Windows is an OS rather than a gaming platform. On PCs, the gaming
platform is most commonly Steam, and there's fa-steam for that.
oxguy3
on 11 Dec 2014
@aequasi Thanks, I must be blind. :)
@oxguy3 Imagine the thousands of gaming sites out there. When they report about games or want to link the different versions, they usually use the Windows logo.
jackennils
on 11 Dec 2014
@jackennils It's pretty common to use the Steam logo, since PC games can also be on many other storefronts (GOG, Humble Store, Origin, etc), and the Windows logo might mislead people into thinking it's on Games for Windows Live or something. Usually you'd only use a Windows logo if you had it beside links for other computer OSes (e.g. OS X or Linux).
oxguy3
on 11 Dec 2014
Figured it's about time I put in my 2 cents in. Thank you @oxguy3 for putting more visuals to the situation! It's also caused me to think about some aspects.
PlayStation Platform Icon vs. Service Icon
In the case of PlayStation, there's both a platform and a service. The PlayStation logo guides being very particular between when to use the PlayStation icon and when to use the PSN icon.
Are you communicating a PlayStation network account? For example, signifying a profile OR allowing the user to login with their PSN account? Use the PSN (Globe) icon.
Are you communication this is a game for use on the PlayStation console? Use the PlayStation (PS) icon. There's no official logo between PS3, PS4, Vita, etc.
Nintendo
Nintendo's guidelines are using the fully spelled out product names as designed; AKA not in logo form. That is the Nintendo Network logo, but like with PlayStation Network, it's the network not the platform. I don't really think there's a good way to icon-ify the Nintendo platforms.
Xbox One / 360
Like PlayStation, the Xbox logo is the same between the One and 360. It's also interchanged with the network as well. Microsoft is moving accounts towards a unified Microsoft account, which Font Awesome already has. So having the Xbox logo should be enough.
Desktop & Mobile Platforms
As @aequasi pointed out, these icons are already available in Font Awesome. No need for anything unique.
TheSeg
on 11 Dec 2014
@TheSeg Yeah in general, the use cases I was thinking of were the networks rather than the platforms. Like, I wanted an icon to link to an individual's Xbox/PSN/Nintendo Network profile page, which isn't tied to any specific platform.
oxguy3

First of all, I think this violates Font Awesome rules to not request a set of icons at once.
QFGlenn
on 19 Aug 2015
"Please make requests for single icons, unless you are requesting a couple of strictly related icons"
Are the requested icons not related?
DennaGherlyn
on 19 Aug 2015
This is an old request and has a lot of +1s.
Major Browser were all included in a single request, see #219
IMHO it's fine to have the 3 major video game console brands in a single request.

@tagliala It's about time to do something about this issue. It's very clear that alot of people want these icons included. In fact it's becoming so popular it's attracting spam bots now, spamming those who have commented. I suggest you either promise to include this in version X or close the issue down entirely (if you do not plan to include these in FontAwesome).
Either way, the time to do something is -now-. Make it happen.

@davegandy Please lock comments on this thread (to prevent more spam).

@Kovah
Let me guess this is a licensing issue perhaps?
Xbox (Microsoft) and Playstation (Sony) not give consent?
Pretty poor solution ( Locking comments) instead of talking to people about why something hasn't / can't be done.

@n8-sd Whoops. I think you got something wrong. Github just deleted three spam comments which my comment was about. I updated my post.

@Kovah thats a better reasoning.
How ever for something such a hot topic, I dont think it should be "locked"

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.
There are Xbox, Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo and PlayStation icons.
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.
Previous ones were moderator, discord, coins, Google Play, thin Close, walking man, t-shirt, Facebook messenger and Line icons.
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 deserves a big thumbs up. This is a painful thread to have notifications turned on to. Been watching it for years. And it'll be years still until Font Awesome adds them (if they ever do) and only after we've all moved to SVG sprites (if you haven't, you should).

Hi, thanks for all your reactions to this request!
Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo switch will be included in the upcoming Font Awesome 5 Free. 馃帀
Note that Nintendo logo does not appear to have an usable icon, so it will not be included.
I'm going to close this request for management purposes
