Openstreetmap-carto: Add rendering for amenity=shower

Created on 12 Feb 2018  Â·  16Comments  Â·  Source: gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto

Related to #3062 and #2856. May be useful especially for rendering camping, sport places or beach areas.

It can be designed probably quite easily - anybody wants to try?

I can try, but you have to tell me what should this icon show.

Some ideas are on the wiki page, we could also make something similar to what I did with car wash icon:

I've tried with man shape under this tap at the begining, but it was too detailed in my opinion.
Tap with water drops under it:

amenity shower

Looks clear and nice for me - another candidate for PR.

Here is an idea with a larger shower head:

I still feel @Tomasz-W version is better, but @polarbearing make sense too - as always, we need 14 px version to see if it can really be recognized.

Is anybody willing to prepare the PR?

comparsion:

amenity shower (Tomasz-W)
icon_column0000 (Noun Project)

1) is clearly better for me at this scale.

PR added

The first one looks a bit like garden watering for me.
The second one has too many drops for the scale, it might be clearer with fewer:

Even fewer drops maybe?

The UFO strikes back:

amenity=shower + standard=prestige :smile:

I think everyone would be happy with a rain fall shower head, but sadly it's not the standard, unless you are rich...
