# New Icons
Font Awesome receives dozens of new requests each day. Some of them will eventually be included, others will not. [Popularity](https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22new+icon%22+sort%3Acomments-desc) is one of the factors taken into account, but it is not the only one.
So, if you need a new icon in a short while, our suggestion is to customize Font Awesome.
## The Easy Way
There are some wonderful online services which allows you to customize Font Awesome, like:
- Fonticons: https://fonticons.com/ (by @davegandy)
- Fontello: http://fontello.com/
- IcoMoon: http://icomoon.io/app/#/select
- Fontastic: http://fontastic.me/
Pick up the one which better fits your needs.
## The Hard Way
*Note that you may need commercial software*
1. [Fork](https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/fork) the repository. You need a properly configured development environment
2. Hack with the `.otf` file. Here it is a guide you can follow: [The making of Octicons](https://github.com/blog/1135-the-making-of-octicons)
3. Share with the Font Awesome community. Check for [open issues](https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues) that are related to your fork and share your repository
# New styles
If you don't need new icons but have special needs for your stylesheet, please consider a custom build based on `.less` or `.scss` versions.
