XRP Ledger Earns IT Industry Recognition After Seven-Year Campaign

The XRP Ledger has finally earned recognition in the IT industry after seven years of continuous requests. The globally popular icon toolkit Font Awesome has integrated the official brand icons for the XRP token and the XRPL network into its latest release.

This move is seen as a significant marker of legitimacy, especially since Bitcoin and Ethereum had been present in the Font Awesome catalog for years. The addition of the XRP logo means that web designers, cryptocurrency wallet developers, and DeFi analytics service creators can display it on screen with a single simple line of standard CSS code.

The campaign to add the XRP logo to Font Awesome dates back to 2018, when the first GitHub thread requesting the addition was created. By 2020, the topic had gained momentum, with token holders and application developers organizing mass voting and pushing it to the top of discussions.
