Icons of all main payment operators and methods (opens in new tab)

I am well aware that PaymentFont is far from complete, so please feel free and contribute: https://github.com/vendocrat/PaymentFont/issues

So for example, if I took Hacker News' Y but used it to link to Hacker News itself, that may not be a trademark violation as I am not either hurting the brand's reputation or misleading people into thinking an association exists with the brand.

But ultimately it is up to a judge to decide what is or is not allowed. And you definitely don't want to take the "the ride" to find out that what you're doing is legal, it could still cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

Anyhow there are some who contacted me right away to thank me or to ask themselves to be included in PaymentFont.

I see that trademark/copyright thing quite pragmatical. If one accepts a certain payment method or uses a certain payment operator/service, they will anyway put a sticker in their shop window or a logo on their website.

If that happens in good will and context, why should the trademark holder sue you for that? Isn't that actually what they want people to do?
