Font-awesome: Icon request: Creative Commons symbols
The circular CC symbols, available here: http://creativecommons.org/about/downloads
They're available as images but having them as a web font would really increase the versatility, allowing for hover effects and the like.

They are actually available as a font. On the same page you referenced, search for "Icons Font". You will get a link to a .ttf, and the characters used for the "icons".

:+1: I would use this myself!
@oluc While they do have fonts and useful (installed it on my local system), it would add another web font to download. Integrating it into Font Awesome would save loading time and include all the features with Font Awesome, rather than special casing.

I second @TheSeg above in that, while the icons are available in their own font, that adds an additional font download.

In the meantime, here's a reaonsable fake (css in your stylesheet of course):
<span class="fa-stack fa-lg">

<i class="fa fa-stack-1x" style="font-weight: bold; font-size: .7em;">CC</i>

I see a copyright icon was added in 4.2. I prefer the less restrictive Creative Commons licenses. Please add the various CC icons/images soon.

Just to guide future readers away from comparing apples to oranges: It doesn't make sense to prefer a copyright license over copyright; holding the copyright to a work is what gives you the authority to declare a copyright license.

Yes, I know this, but there are definitely sensible reasons for preferring to slap a CC license on your website instead of simply declaring your copyright by slapping a copyright icon on it.

This is missing the point. Please be aware that FontAwesome is used under many different jurisdictions. I want to use the cc icon instead of the c icon to make clear that I'm sharing the content, even though I am still the legal copyright holder.

@richardba There are already CC images, and a font, available from the Creative Commons website (linked at the very top of this thread). The request here is to have those incorporated into FontAwesome so that we just need 1 font download to get these commonly used icons.

@richardba Sure, the CC-icons are available as webfonts (both the one you provide, and the webfont available from the Creative Commons organization), but that still means using 2 separate fonts for icons (the CC and FontAwesome). This icon request is for the Creative Commons icons to be added to Font Awesome so that we only need to use one font for all of our icons.

// pls scan comments before suggesting that these icons are already available elsewhere. Just about every person +1'ing this already knows that Creative Commons offers its own 6KB TTF featuring all their icons. The reason this is requested here, and has so many +1s and duplicate requests on GitHub, is that we'd like the to serve to our users a single icon font set with a single script/syntax to reference any of Font Awesome's icons or Creative Commons' icons.

Please do not request comprehensive sets of icons related to a very specific field.
I understand that this request contains 11 icons
tagliala
on 27 Mar 2015
@tagliala I would argue that the Creative Commons icons are not really “a very specific field” as they have a wide-ranging use both on and off the internet (science, visual arts, media arts, politics, discussion forums, engineering, journalism, software, academia, design,…).
That said, if you would like us to break up this request into the individual icons, please let us know.
One might also distinguish between the 5 “core” license icons (CC, BY, NC, ND, SA) and the other 6 icons distributed by the Creative Commons group.
grantneufeld
on 27 Mar 2015
I agree with @grantneufeld 's suggestion. These are individual types of licenses that all were designed by the same organization with the same philosophy in mind, however are different and distinct icons. The mere fact that this thread is so heated and long is indicative that these are widely used icons, particularly for those of us who create web-based content.
iamjessklein
on 27 Mar 2015
They're definitely not related to a 'very specific field'. Some examples:
- Wikipedia and StackExchange1
- New Zealand Government2
- Wired.com photo archive2
- OpenStreetMap Cartography3
- The FontAwesome documentation!
I think it's fair to say that these are _very_ high-value icons.
hamishcampbell
on 29 Mar 2015
Also some blogging platforms like getgrav.org have a built-in FontAwesome support and newbie users can include the FontAwesome icons not only to their blog posts but even to the navigation menu headers of their blog.
Sometimes bloggers use Creative Commons licenses in their posts and using an icon to illustrate that would be just a perfect thing.
manujarvinen
on 29 Mar 2015
Please do not request comprehensive sets of icons related to a very specific field.
I have to agree with the rest of the crowd that CC icons aren't a narrow focus.
To me, an example of narrow focus are game controller button icons. A series of icons representing the buttons of all gamepad controllers would be very specific. Only video game sites that illustrating specific commands would need the approved icon for Left Bumper or "Option" button. Very narrow in focus and application.
Creative Commons on the other hand applies to a large amount of media in a large amount of contexts. Just as ™ or ® can be applied to any work, Creative Commons licenses have the same scope.

tagliala
on 30 Mar 2015
@tagliala been doing something along those lines for quite some time now, using http://cc-icons.github.io/ -- that still does not solve the issue here. A final decision will make it simpler, if there will be no support planned and everyone that needs to use CC icons has to look elsewhere or do their own customization, it should be documented and this issue closed for good.
jmcastagnetto
on 30 Mar 2015
+1
To sum it up, with the intention to move things forward:
Following the rules for requesting icons
- Rule 2, "!specific":
- CC icons are widely used in many fields, as @hamishcampbell (and others) explained with examples. See https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/544#issuecomment-87462057
- Rule 3, "+1":
- searching the page for "+1" gives 57 matches
- it is the 12th most commented issue out of 2.469 open ones
- Rule 4, "single icon":
- this is a request for several icons, however CC icons are used together, side by side, to form a single "complex" icon, depending on the license variation. See http://creativecommons.org/about/downloads
- if it would really help, this request can easily be split into several requests
- Rule 5:
- CC icons are already created, provided by the CC organization, as a TTF font
- so there is no design nor font forging work to do.
- In addition, @mattl offered help as Tech Lead at CC, see https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/544#issuecomment-77567911.
Next step
My understanding is that the next step is a "go" or "no go" decision from the Font Awesome project leaders.
In case of positive answer, then would come the integration work.

To help show that this isn't a request with a limited or narrow focus, here's a WordPress Support Page about including Creative Commons license on any blog. Certainly WordPress appeals to users beyond a limited or narrow scope.

More evidence against narrow focus: YouTube includes CC licensing, and Google Search filters for it. That's the 3rd and 1st biggest websites worldwide (in addition to Wikipedia, #\6)

The main CC symbol (#5276) has been added and will is be available in v4.4:
https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/commit/a2ce7371c0b149a61bb9581c59289ec0f8901b65#diff-1cbc4a03735344662ee8620509c7859fR1920
So this issue remains for the BY NC ND SA (and Public Domain/Zero?) icons.
And for the NC icon also the EU and JP variants?

mattl
on 20 May 2016
@mattl There have been a couple similar suggestions above for non-fontawesome sources of the icons (including the CreativeCommons site itself). This request remains focused on having the set of CC icons included in FontAwesome so we can have easy, consistent, access to them along with all the other icons we use in it, and so that we do not have to have our users downloading multiple files.

@mattl I’m not sure why you’re asking about trademarks? This is about the Creative Commons symbols. And, yes, there are loads of trademark icons in the font—the biggest bunch of which are found in the "Brand Icons” section of the FontAwesome icon list.
