readthedocs icon not working

[peterjc]

Are you experiencing an issue with...

• shields.io
• My own instance
• gh-badges NPM package

🪲 Description

Trying to show a ReadTheDocs status, like:

🔗 https://img.shields.io/readthedocs/thapbi-pict.svg

But with the readthedocs logo fails:

🔗 https://img.shields.io/readthedocs/thapbi-pict.svg?logo=readthedocs
🔗 https://img.shields.io/readthedocs/thapbi-pict.svg?logo=ReadTheDocs

Other simpleicons work:

https://img.shields.io/readthedocs/thapbi-pict.svg?logo=Adobe
https://img.shields.io/readthedocs/thapbi-pict.svg?logo=let%E2%80%99s-encrypt

Built in logos do work, e.g.

🔗 https://img.shields.io/readthedocs/thapbi-pict.svg?logo=travis
🔗 https://img.shields.io/readthedocs/thapbi-pict.svg?logo=appveyor

💡 Unsure where in the code to start looking

The icon reference is read-the-docs with - between the words. I believe that's the general convention used by simple icons for multi-word references, but I wish they could make that more clear in their docs.

https://img.shields.io/readthedocs/thapbi-pict.svg?logo=read-the-docs

Closing this as the icon works with correct icon reference, please feel free to reopen @peterjc if you feel otherwise!

No, that's fair. It was my mistake

On re-reading, https://shields.io/category/build says:

?logo=appveyor
Insert one of the named logos from (bitcoin, dependabot, discord, gitlab, npm, paypal, serverfault, stackexchange, superuser, telegram, travis) or simple-icons. Simple-icons are referenced using names as they appear on the simple-icons site. If the name includes spaces, replace them with dashes (e.g: ?logo=visual-studio-code)

So yes, it does say lower case with dashes - evidently having looked at https://simpleicons.org/?q=read%20the%20docs and the name of the download being readthedocs.svg I must have assumed that's what you mean by "as they appear on the simple-icons site". Oops.

Thanks for the quick pointer at the expected solution.

Feel free to upvote simple-icons/simple-icons#1362, which I think would make this process easier for everyone!
