Font Awesome has a vibrant community centered around the GitHub project. You can request new icons, report bugs, submit pull requests, and check upcoming milestones.

New icons mostly start as requests by the Font Awesome community on GitHub. Want to request a new icon? Here are some things to keep in mind:

  1. Please be nice. Font Awesome is a happy place.
  2. Please search to see if your icon request already exists.
  3. Please and thank you if you include the following:
    • Title your new issue Icon request: icon-name.
    • Include a few use cases for your requested icon. How do you plan on using it?
    • Attach a single color image or two that represent the idea you're going for.
  4. Concrete objects make good icons, since abstract concepts are, well, abstract. It's harder to make an icon to represent happiness. It's easier to make a smiley face.

Found a bug? Want to request a new icon? Want to see what's up next for the project? Submit an issue or a pull request on the GitHub project. Here are a few guidelines:

  1. Be nice. No one likes a jackass.
  2. Check to see if your issue you want to open already exists. Search is a beautiful invention.
  3. If you're making a request for a new icon, it's helpful if you include the following:
    • Title your request Icon request: icon-name
    • Icon use cases. How do you want to be using it?
    • Attach an image or two that represent the idea you're going for. Remember that font icons are a single color.
  4. If you're submitting a pull request, make it on the latest -wip branch. All pull requests against master will be ignored.

Hopefully you think Font Awesome is awesome. I've put hundreds of hours into the project to give back to the open source community. If you'd like, here are a couple of ways you can tell me thanks for all my hard work.
