Icon request: minidisc

[lfkrebs]

What can it be used for?
To indicate a media format, alongside existing icons for cassette-tape, VHS, betamax, record, and compact-disc. Could be for a media library, or for a music site like BandCamp where minidiscs releases are sold.

(Minidiscs are having a bit of a revival and new releases are still being put out even though the medium is almost 30 years old and didn't win against CDs and downloads.)

Example image (optional)
Minidiscs have their own emoji. The implementations by Apple, Google, Facebook and Samsung in this overview represent MDs well:

Icon request checklist

• This is a single icon or matched pair (Ex: lock / unlock)
• The title starts with "Icon request: " and is followed by the requested icon name (Ex: Icon request: magical-unicorn)
• I have searched for existing issues and to the best of my knowledge this is not a duplicate
• I have included at least one example image if it could be helpful (optional)
• The request is for a concrete object (it's harder to make an icon to represent happiness, it's easier to make a smiley face. ☺)

@tagliala this might fit better into the music category. Despite the odd emoji name, minidiscs are primarily audio media like music CDs

@lfkrebs thanks for the heads-up

I'm quite surprised that compact-disc is not part of the music category, will solve this internally

This is a quick update to let folks know that we’re refining our icon request workflow behind the scenes, and as part of that we’re going through all open requests and filing them into several new buckets to be addressed.

In this case we’ve added this issue to our new list to be created! We can’t promise any firm timelines right now, but this will help us keep track of it.

We’ll update this issue when the icon is released into the wild 🙂
