Lots of ways to get involved with Font Awesome

Font Awesome has a vibrant community of folks helping each other out. You can get support, report bugs, request new icons, submit pull requests, and check upcoming milestones.

Getting Support

Having trouble getting Font Awesome up and running? Something not working the way you think it should? I hate that I don't have time to answer Font Awesome support emails anymore. So here are some things you might wanna do:

  1. Make sure you've read the latest version of how to get started. It's been updated recently to make Font Awesome even easier to use.
  2. Check out the existing questions tagged as Font Awesome over on Stack Overflow. Other folks might have had the same question you've had.
  3. Can't find the answer to your question on Stack Overflow? Ask a new question, then send me an email and I might be able to take a look.

Requesting New Icons

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. If a request is found, please +1 that one.
  3. Please make requests for single icons, unless you are requesting a couple of strictly related icons (e.g., thumbs-up/thumbs-down).
  4. Please and thank you if you include the following:
    • Title your new issue Icon request: icon-name (e.g., Icon request: icon-car).
    • 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.
  5. Request concrete objects: it's harder to make an icon to represent happiness, it's easier to make a smiley face.
