Sign in LINK TO "WHAT IS THE CURRENT VERSION OF FONT AWESOME?" WHAT IS THE CURRENT VERSION OF FONT AWESOME? Version 6 is the current major version of Font Awesome. Any updates to icons and software will be made as part of this version through minor and patch releases. Looking for another version, check out our versions archive to access any and all of the Awesome. LINK TO "WHAT DOES LTS MEAN?" WHAT DOES LTS MEAN? LTS is short for "Long Term Support", a software lifecycle term that denotes a release as stable and officially maintained for a long period of time. While regular updates will be part of releases we ship to the current version of Font Awesome, LTS versions will be focused on dependability and stability and not regularly updated. LINK TO "DO I NEED TO RENEW MY SUBSCRIPTION TO RECEIVE FIXES?" DO I NEED TO RENEW MY SUBSCRIPTION TO RECEIVE FIXES? We split up Font Awesome releases into regular updates and bug-fix updates. You'll always be entitled to a bug-fix update for your last version with a Pro or Pro Max Plan, even after your subscription has expired. LINK TO "WHAT FORMATS IS FONT AWESOME AVAILABLE IN?" WHAT FORMATS IS FONT AWESOME AVAILABLE IN? Font Awesome Free and Font Awesome Pro are available to you in two formats: * as an icon font, also called a Web Font * as SVGs Downloads of either format are available for both Font Awesome Free and Font Awesome Pro (if you have a perpetual license). To make them easier to use on the web, we have created frameworks for each. And we have lots of documentation on how to use them on the web and on the desktop. LINK TO "CAN I USE FONT AWESOME PRO IN THEMES, PLUG-INS, OR OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS?" CAN I USE FONT AWESOME PRO IN THEMES, PLUG-INS, OR OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS? We're still figuring out how best to make the Pro version of Font Awesome available for open source projects and popular themes/plugins like yours. Pro is commercial software, so there are some restrictions. Biggest one is that you cannot distribute Pro to folks not specifically covered by the license (e.g. you can't provide the files in your open source public repo). For themes and open source projects, right now it's best to just use Font Awesome Free. We are working a better solution, so feel free to get in touch if you have thoughts. LINK TO "HOW DO I USE FONT AWESOME WITH FIGMA?" HOW DO I USE FONT AWESOME WITH FIGMA? Font Awesome Free is available by default in Figma. If you'd like to use Font Awesome Pro in Figma, we recommend our ligature-based font files. Here's how to get started along with how to install them locally. install the Pro font files locally. Also, you'll need to make sure "Local Fonts" are enables in Figma's settings. LINK TO "DO ALL OF MY CLIENTS NEED PLANS AND LICENSES?" DO ALL OF MY CLIENTS NEED PLANS AND LICENSES? If you're a freelancer or agency passing work along directly to clients or printers and they aren't modifying any content at all, then you're probably good to go. If they edit any content on the website, print design, mobile app, etc. then they would be considered a creator and would need to be covered by a Pro license . LINK TO "CAN I USE FONT AWESOME PRO IN OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS?" CAN I USE FONT AWESOME PRO IN OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS? Our Pro-only icons cannot be directly included in open source projects. The Font Awesome Pro license has the most detailed and up-to-date information on acceptable Font Awesome Pro use. SHARING PRO ASSETS Sharing Font Awesome Pro assets (both icons and software) directly with anyone who is not covered specifically by your Font Awesome Pro license is in direct violation of the Font Awesome Pro license. Doing so may result in account suspension, loss of access to Font Awesome Pro assets, and/or legal action. USING PRO SERVICES Using Font Awesome Pro services in open source projects is allowed. However any usage of these services will remain tied to your Font Awesome purchased plan subscription. KITS Any websites, apps, or projects that reference your Pro kits will count towards your monthly pageviews and could lead to overages in use and extra charges. PRO NPM PACKAGES We recommend including Font Awesome Pro packages in your open source projects as a dependency and requiring users of your project to get their own Font Awesome Pro npm token (available with an active Pro level plan). If folks would prefer not to get their own token, they should swap the Pro package out for the Font Awesome Free package. LINK TO "HOW DO I USE FONT AWESOME WITH AXURE?" HOW DO I USE FONT AWESOME WITH AXURE? You can find some guidelines for using Font Awesome 5 in Axure here: https://forum.axure.com/t/font-awesome-widget-library-for-rp-8-icon-fonts/25599/90 . LINK TO "CAN I WORK WITH OTHERS USING FONT AWESOME PRO?" CAN I WORK WITH OTHERS USING FONT AWESOME PRO? The first question to ask is are those others you want to work with creators ? Creators are folks who make or edit content with Font Awesome Pro icons. If they're creators, you'll need to assign them a seat on your Font Awesome of your license seats. Creators can also embed Pro in projects, then pass along to non-creators in a few limited cases (deploying software with Pro embedded, printing a file with Pro icons, etc.) If those non-Creators ever need to modify or create any new content in those projects, they would need to be assigned one of your license seats. LINK TO "CAN I USE PRO IN MY THEME OR OPEN SOURCE PROJECT?" CAN I USE PRO IN MY THEME OR OPEN SOURCE PROJECT? For themes and open source projects, right now it's best to just use Font Awesome Free. We are working on a better solution, so feel free to get in touch if you have thoughts. LINK TO "HOW DO I CREATE A SUBSET OF FONT AWESOME?" HOW DO I CREATE A SUBSET OF FONT AWESOME? Pro subscribers can slim down Font Awesome to just the icons they need by creating a subset. The best way to create a subset is to add a Kit and set it to Custom Subsetting in the Settings. We also still have the sunsetted Pro Subsetter desktop app available for creating subsets for late Version 5 and early Version 6 releases. You can download it from the Downloads page. LINK TO "WHERE AND HOW CAN I UPLOAD MY OWN ICONS?" WHERE AND HOW CAN I UPLOAD MY OWN ICONS? Icon Upload is available from within a Kit. You can upload your own SVG icons to be transformed into icons. Kits are the easiest and most performant way to use Font Awesome on the web. And now with Kit Icon Upload, they're also the most extendable. Just upload your icon into a kit of your choosing, and use it right away just like you use Font Awesome icons. While uploaded icons are web-centric now, we're planning to make kits a cornerstone for a lot more in the future . LINK TO "WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO USE DUOTONE ICONS ON THE DESKTOP?" WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO USE DUOTONE ICONS ON THE DESKTOP? Our current recommended way to use the duotone icons in desktop applications is to use the SVG files, as opposed to our icon font. Here's some more helpful information on using the duotone style on the desktop. LINK TO "WHERE AND HOW CAN I USE FONT AWESOME PRO?" WHERE AND HOW CAN I USE FONT AWESOME PRO? When you subscribe to a Font Awesome Pro or Pro Max Plan, you'll receive a perpetual Font Awesome Pro license. That license grants you the ability to use Font Awesome Pro's icons and software in a ton of ways. * Use Font Awesome's Pro's icons and software in your web-based projects * Download and use Font Awesome Pro's icons in your desktop design work * Use Font Awesome Pro in print and graphic design work * Use Font Awesome Pro in your presentations RESTRICTIONS There are some things to be mindful of, however.

WILL FONT AWESOME 6 REQUIRE A NEW ONE?" I ALREADY HAVE A FONT AWESOME 5 LICENSE. WILL FONT AWESOME 6 REQUIRE A NEW ONE? We still support a number of older Pro licenses from our Kickstarter and Pre-release of Version 5 days. But those have different terms than the one you will need to use Font Awesome 6. You can continue to use Font Awesome 5 Pro under your existing license. To start using Font Awesome 6 Pro, you'll need to purchase a Font Awesome subscription. LINK TO "HOW DO I UPGRADE TO FONT AWESOME 6?" HOW DO I UPGRADE TO FONT AWESOME 6? We've created upgrading guides for the web and desktop to help you get Version 6 up and running in as little time and pain as possible. When upgrading on the web, we've outlined steps for each of the major ways you can integrate Font Awesome into your project. From SCSS/Less to JavaScript components to CSS Pseudo-elements, we've got you covered. And if your project is still using Font Awesome 4, we've got a guide for easy upgrading from v4 to v6! LINK TO "DOES FONT AWESOME 6 HAVE BREAKING CHANGES?" DOES FONT AWESOME 6 HAVE BREAKING CHANGES? In developing Version 6, we've been laser-sword-focused on making sure things are backwards compatible. But the answer to this really depends on how you've been using Font Awesome in your existing projects - if you're using our frameworks, components, or Kits, chances are we have you covered. We've outlined in detail what's changed in Font Awesome 6 for the web as well as when using Font Awesome 6 on the desktop. If you're looking for help upgrading to Font Awesome 6, check out web and desktop upgrading guides. LINK TO "WHEN WILL FONT AWESOME 6 BE AVAILABLE?" WHEN WILL FONT AWESOME 6 BE AVAILABLE?

Don't forget to grab a Pro subscription if you need one! As features and new content become available, we'll be sending updates to Pro subscribers and announcements to the larger community. LINK TO "HOW IS FONT AWESOME 6 DIFFERENT?" HOW IS FONT AWESOME 6 DIFFERENT? Just as Version 5 had more icons and more ways to use them in projects, Version 6 continues that mantra. We want Font Awesome to have the icons and styles to fit into your project. This means we're making more styles to match your look and feel, meeting you in your project's stack as much as possible, and most importantly we'll try to have the icons you need. When we don't, Font Awesome 6 has a way for you to add those yourself. You can upload your own logo and icons or even commission us to design 1 icon, 6 icons, or 24 icons! It's important to note that Version 6 is a major release and might have breaking changes (though we are doing our absolute best to avoid them in this version). And we've made upgrading from versions 4 and 5 easier than ever, complete with guides when possible. And our Pro-level plans come with Actual Human Support if you need help getting unstuck.

Sign in LINK TO "CAN I USE FONT AWESOME KITS AND CDN WHEN I PURCHASE A FONT AWESOME SUBSCRIPTION?" CAN I USE FONT AWESOME KITS AND CDN WHEN I PURCHASE A FONT AWESOME SUBSCRIPTION? When you purchase a plan from Font Awesome, you'll be able to use both our Kits and our Pro CDN as part of your year of services, support, and updates. After that year is over, you'll need to renew your plan's subscription to keep using them (and to get all of the fresh icons and updates). Note that some services, like our Kits, have pageview limits per month. If you exceed those limits, you may incur additional charges. LINK TO "WILL FONT AWESOME KITS AND CDN ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE?" WILL FONT AWESOME KITS AND CDN ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE? While we expect to have minimal issues, there is no guarantee of 100% uptime for our Kits as well as Free and Pro CDNs. We may need to perform maintenance to these that on rare occasions or encounter unforeseen issues that would cause service interruptions. You can always check the status of all of our services. LINK TO "WHAT ARE PAGEVIEWS?" WHAT ARE PAGEVIEWS? Pageviews are how we track usage of our Kits service, which hosts and serves icons for you. By default, there are no restrictions on which domains can use your Kit. We do, however, give you the option to (and recommend that you) "whitelist" domains in order to restrict which sites can use your Kit. LINK TO "HOW CAN I REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF PAGEVIEWS I'M USING?" HOW CAN I REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF PAGEVIEWS I'M USING? Through a Kit's settings, you can limit which domains are allowed to use that Kit. Limiting domains lets you control where and how your Font Awesome Kits are being used which helps avoid unexpected usage. LINK TO "WHAT ARE PAGEVIEWS?" WHAT ARE PAGEVIEWS? Pageviews are how we track usage of our Kits service, which hosts and serves icons for you. By default, there are no restrictions on which domains can use your Kit. We do, however, give you the option to (and recommend that you) "whitelist" domains to restrict which sites can use your Kit. LINK TO "WHAT HAPPENS IF I EXCEED MY PLAN'S MONTHLY PAGEVIEWS LIMIT?" WHAT HAPPENS IF I EXCEED MY PLAN'S MONTHLY PAGEVIEWS LIMIT? If you have Metered Billing enabled and reach your plan's monthly pageview limit, the Kits service will remain active. When Metered Billing is fully released, you'll be billed for any additional overages using a flat rate for the remainder of the month. If you've set a specific Pageviews billing limit, you'll be billed for any additional overages until that set limit is reached. At that point, the Kits service will be deactivated for the remainder of the current month. If you reach your plan's monthly Package Bandwidth limit and do not have Metered Billing enabled, the Kits service will be deactivated for the remainder of the month, which may result in icon interruptions for your projects. LINK TO "WHAT ARE PACKAGES?" WHAT ARE PACKAGES? Packages allow projects to use Font Awesome in one line of code, without the hassle of managing assets, data, and files. This includes easy updating to newer releases of Font Awesome too. Packages can be installed and managed using popular software like npm, yarn, Python, and Ruby. We have a number of ways to use our packages and two sets of packages you can download: Free (and open source) packages that you can use in your open source projects, and also a Pro (commercial) packages for Pro subscribers that gives you access to use our Pro icons in your private projects. Be sure to check your license and adhere to the terms of use when including packages in your projects. LINK TO "WHAT IS PACKAGE BANDWIDTH?" WHAT IS PACKAGE BANDWIDTH? Each time one of your projects loads Font Awesome Pro assets as a package via a Package Manager (like npm) or Plugin, the size of the data transferred is recorded as Package Bandwidth - which is counted monthly and reset each month. For Pro and Pro Max subscribers, Font Awesome maintains and provides access to our Pro packages - including all the storage and data needed to build and serve Pro assets in a project. Fun fact: We serve over 12TB of data per month - that's a lot of icons! And because our Pro icons are commercial software, we can't host them on npmjs.com , but you do have the option to download and host our npm packages yourself. LINK TO "HOW CAN I REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF PACKAGE BANDWIDTH I'M USING?" HOW CAN I REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF PACKAGE BANDWIDTH I'M USING? If you find yourself using a lot of your Package Bandwidth, we recommend checking any Continuous Integration (CI) environments you have set up in your projects and tuning your CI to use Font Awesome assets more efficiently. LINK TO "WHAT HAPPENS IF I EXCEED MY PLAN'S MONTHLY PACKAGE BANDWIDTH LIMIT?" WHAT HAPPENS IF I EXCEED MY PLAN'S MONTHLY PACKAGE BANDWIDTH LIMIT? If you have Metered Billing enabled and reach your plan's monthly Package Bandwidth limit, that service will remain active. When Metered Billing is fully released, you'll be billed for any additional overages using a flat rate for the remainder of the month. If you've set a specific Package Bandwidth billing limit, you'll be billed for any additional overages until that set limit is reached. At that point, the service will be deactivated for the remainder of the current month. If you reach your plan's monthly Package Bandwidth limit and do not have Metered Billing enabled, the service will be deactivated for the remainder of the month, which may result in icon interruptions for your projects. LINK TO "HOW DO I VIEW MY MONTHLY SERVICE USAGE?" HOW DO I VIEW MY MONTHLY SERVICE USAGE? Your Font Awesome service usage for the current month can always be viewed in your Account. LINK TO "HOW DO KITS AND CACHING WORK?" HOW DO KITS AND CACHING WORK? We've designed our Kits feature to be a balanced solution between easy-to-use and performant. To that end we've made some trade-offs. Our Kit URLs (e.g. https://kit.fontawesome.com/abcdefg.js ) are specifically configured to have a short life (max age). They'll hang around in your browser's cache for a minute before a new version is fetched from the server. Most of the time the server responds with an empty "304 Not Modified" response. So it's still pretty effecient even though it needs to talk with the server. This makes sure that if you change your Kit's settings it will show up reasonably soon in the browser. The other thing we've done is allowed you to choose the "latest" version of Font Awesome for your Kit. When we add icons and release new versions of Font Awesome your site will automatically get the new version. To make this work the browser will cache files for up to one minute before checking with the server to see if a newer version exists. One optimization that you can make is to explicitly select a version instead of "latest". If you select, for example, "5.8.2" and then save your Kit we can use a different caching strategy. Because the version doesn't change the browser will cache files for the maximum that most browsers recognize: 365 days. This means that for up to a year your browser never needs to make a request for anything but the original Kit URL (which is super tiny to begin with). Lastly we want to talk about how Kits load multiple files. You may have noticed that a lot of requests for WOFF2 or SVG files can be seen in the Network tab of the browsers developer tools. In the old days, this would be very inneficient as each request would be a separate network connection. However, Kits use newer HTTP/2 features where multiple files can not only use the same network connection but can be processed in parallel. We've optimized our files in such a way that you should see excellent performance from this and in a lot of cases it's faster than traditional file bundling over HTTP/1. We also now have the option to load Kits using only CSS. (You'll need to set your Kit to use version 6 and Web Fonts.) Once the files are loaded and cached, they will be very fast and performant in your sites and apps. If you have deeper questions about caching, get in touch. We're happy to talk shop and solutions.

LINK TO "HOW DO I DEPLOY A NETLIFY PROJECT USING A PRO NPM PACKAGE?" HOW DO I DEPLOY A NETLIFY PROJECT USING A PRO NPM PACKAGE? In order to deploy a project from Netlify using FontAwesome Pro NPM package, you will need to add an environment variable.

If you help adding environment variables to Netlify please see Netlify's documentation on declaring variables. LINK TO "DO YOU HAVE AN OFFICIAL FONT AWESOME FIGMA PLUGIN?" DO YOU HAVE AN OFFICIAL FONT AWESOME FIGMA PLUGIN? Yes! You can find our official Font Awesome Icons Figma plugin in the Figma Community or by searching for "Font Awesome Icons (Official)" in your Figma app's Plugin menu. We also have the following ways to use Font Awesome with Figma: ALTERNATIVE 1: FONT AWESOME FIGMA COMPONENT Use this ligature-based icon component. You'll need to install the OTF font files for Font Awesome Pro first, but then you can just edit the component and type in a new icon name to change it. ALTERNATIVE 1: DOWNLOAD AND USE SVGS If you'd prefer to use vector-based icons, here's my suggestion. 1. Download the "For Desktop Use" files from Font Awesome. 2. With a new Figma window open, select your desired SVGs (in a chosen style) in the downloaded folder and drag/drop them onto the Figma window. 3. This will import all of the svgs as separate frames into Figma. 4. "Select all" and use this plugin to scale all of the icons down to a 16px height: Scale Plugin 5. With everything still selected, use this plugin to resize all of the frames to a consistent size (I would suggest either 20 x 20 pixels or 24 x 24 pixels): Frame Resizer Plugin 6. Now click the little arrow next to the create component icon (the little diamond grid) in the top bar of the Figma window. This will give you a dropdown with the option to "create multiple components". 7. That should do it! LINK TO "I DID NOT PURCHASE A SUBSCRIPTION TO FONT AWESOME, CAN I GET SOME SUPPORT?"

WHY ARE SOME (HIGHLY REQUESTED) ICONS NOT AVAILABLE IN FONT AWESOME FREE? Font Awesome began as a free resource and it's important to us that there will always be a free version of it that is more-than-usable by anyone who needs icons. But we built a team to make sure we continue to add icons, features, and make Font Awesome, well, awesome. That team is full of great people who help make our icons and products - but they're also folks with bills, kids, and dreams of their own that require a salary. Paid options like Font Awesome Pro help sustain those people and the company. Also, since we've introduced Font Awesome Pro, we've had the means to more than double the size of Font Awesome Free! With that all in mind, when planning out a category or release, we consider what icons can be added to Free to form a usable subset. If an icon doesn't make that cut, it's because it covers a deeper or more nuanced subject (e.g. toilet-paper-alt ) or it isn't essential to that focused subset of a category we included in Free (e.g. the range of toilet-paper-alt to toilet-paper-alt ). If you find yourself really needing one of those icons, we hope you'd consider supporting the team and project. LINK TO "IS FONT AWESOME OPEN SOURCE?" IS FONT AWESOME OPEN SOURCE?

WHY DO I NEED A PLAN TO USE FONT AWESOME PRO OR PRO MAX? Simplicity. We originally thought we'd go the model of selling lots of tiny things (like category packs, access to Pro Kits, additional FA styles), but we really don't want to do that. We're designers and developers and don't want to spend a ton of time on pricing models, upsells, and the rest. We want to keep it simple. You buy a Pro-level plan, you get everything we're making for it. We also think it makes sense to keep the license perpetual. You paid for it, so we want you to be able to use it in all of your projects. But for things that cost us money to develop and maintain, like updates to the software, new features (which might or might not have been a part of the Kickstarter rewards), and services like Pro CDN and the private NPM repo, we think it makes sense to charge for those on a continuing basis since our costs for them continue as well. If in that year of updates and services you've not seen useful updates, new features, and critical services you need, then you can cancel the renewal. You'll still get your updates and services for that year and the perpetual license to keep using it. No problem at all. LINK TO "DO I NEED A PLAN OR LICENSE FOR EVERY PROJECT I WANT TO USE FONT AWESOME PRO IN?" DO I NEED A PLAN OR LICENSE FOR EVERY PROJECT I WANT TO USE FONT AWESOME PRO IN?

There is zero lead time - upon successful purchase, we set up an account from the email used when checking out (which can be changed later) and provide access to download the digital assets from that account.

Sign in LINK TO "I WANT AN ICON TO BE ADDED TO FONT AWESOME" I WANT AN ICON TO BE ADDED TO FONT AWESOME If you'd like to see specific icons added, there are a few options: 1. You can sponsor/commission the icon to be created. A standard icon is $300 and a brand icon (adding your logo) is $3,000. 2. You can request the icon or the category for the Font Awesome Community to vote on. If it gets enough votes on our Icon Requests Leaderboard, we'll put it in our queue. 3. You can use the icon upload feature to use a custom svg icon in a Font Awesome Pro kit. LINK TO "COMMISSIONING ICONS" COMMISSIONING ICONS We allow individuals and organizations to commission icons in Font Awesome. Once designed, commissioned icons are added to the current working version of Font Awesome. GUIDELINES * Icons are designed in a single color (with some opacity applied to the duotone style of the icon). * If you are commissioning a logo, it must be added to our Brands collection. * If you are commissioning a logo, you must have the legal right to share its use in Font Awesome. * If you are commissioning a logo, the logo should be simple enough to render as a legible symbol as small as 16px. Lots of letters or overly complex symbols won't work great for inclusion in Font Awesome. * If desired, you'll be listed as a sponsor of your icon(s) on fontawesome.com. * Please request concrete objects or concepts. It's harder to make an icon to represent happiness, it's easier to make a smiley face. * Commissioned icons will be added to the Font Awesome Pro collection of icons. * Commissioned icons may be added to certain new or existing icon categories at Font Awesome's discretion. * Certain commissioned icons may be added to the Font Awesome Free collection of icons at Font Awesome's discretion. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN ICON IS COMMISSIONED? Once a sponsor pays to commission an icon, our team will be in touch to get the process started. We'll ask some pointed questions about the icons to be sponsored and take the original request as inspiration while we design. We'll keep in touch with sponsors and provide steps to check out the direction before we ship that freshly commissioned icon to the world. Once the icon has been been added to Font Awesome, we'll note the individual or organization as the official sponsor in that icon's details on fontawesome.com. LINK TO "CAN I COMMISSION A CATEGORY OR THEME FOR A SET OF ICONS?" CAN I COMMISSION A CATEGORY OR THEME FOR A SET OF ICONS? Absolutely. If you commission a pack of 6 icons or a case of 24 icons, you can request a theme for some or all of the set. We'll be in touch after you purchase the commission and you can give us all the details. If you have questions or want more info, get in touch. LINK TO "CAN I COMMISSION MY ORGANIZATION'S OR PROJECT'S LOGO?" CAN I COMMISSION MY ORGANIZATION'S OR PROJECT'S LOGO? Yep! You can add your project or organization's logo to Font Awesome by commissioning a brand icon. We'll add it to our set of brand icons. It'll be available in Font Awesome Free and Pro. Heads up: logos and identities must be commissioned as part of our brand icons. Normal icon commissions are more focused on general subject matter, concepts, and objects. LINK TO "WILL YOU DESIGN ME A LOGO AS PART OF COMMISSIONING MY LOGO IN FONT AWESOME?" WILL YOU DESIGN ME A LOGO AS PART OF COMMISSIONING MY LOGO IN FONT AWESOME? No. You'll need to provide a vector version of your existing logo. We'll take it from there and optimize it for use as an icon in Font Awesome. LINK TO "REQUESTING ICONS" REQUESTING ICONS We encourage requests and recommendations for new icons through the Font Awesome community on GitHub. REQUESTING AN ICON Icon requests are managed through GitHub issues in the Font Awesome project. Want to request a new icon? Please search to see if your icon request already exists. If a request is found, please add a 👍 reaction to that one. If there isn't an existing request, feel free to make one! GUIDELINES * Icons are designed in a single color (with some opacity applied to the duotone style of the icon). * If you are requesting a logo, it must be added to our Brands collection. * If you are requesting a logo, the logo should be simple enough to render as a legible symbol as small as 16px. Lots of letters or overly complex symbols won't work great for inclusion in Font Awesome. * Please request concrete objects or concepts. It's harder to make an icon to represent happiness, it's easier to make a smiley face. * Requested icons may be added to the Font Awesome Pro collection of icons. * Requested icons may be added to certain new or existing icon categories at Font Awesome's discretion. * Certain requested icons may be added to the Font Awesome Free collection of icons at Font Awesome's discretion. HOW AN ICON REQUEST BECOMES AN OFFICIAL ICON Once a request is posted, our community on GitHub is welcome to post reactions (👍, 👀, 🎉, etc.). Folks can also share thoughts and encouragement via comments. The Font Awesome team tracks the requests that have the most community activity via our Icon Requests Leaderboard and often considers those requests when planning additions to our icon collection. LINK TO "CAN I REQUEST A CATEGORY OF ICONS?" CAN I REQUEST A CATEGORY OF ICONS? Unfortunately no. We only accept requests for individual icons. We do offer the option to commission a pack of 6 icons or a case of 24 icons where you can request a theme for some or all of the set. LINK TO "WHY ARE ICONS REQUESTS FROM 2013 STILL OPEN?" WHY ARE ICONS REQUESTS FROM 2013 STILL OPEN? Not so long ago, Font Awesome was a labor of love that was done during the free time of mostly one person, our co-founder Dave. While Dave was able to bring Font Awesome to include hundreds of icons, he also had commitments like a full-time job and family that meant he couldn't tackle everything. Since the team has grown and we've released Font Awesome Version 5, we've picked up the pace. Not only have we added two unique styles of icons, but since 2018 alone, we added over 2,500 new icons. If a request seems old, dusty, and not addressed, it's because it hasn't fit into our roadmap of categories and subjects to include nor has it gathered enough community enthusiasm and votes to warrant it to be added yet. You can help with that by getting more reactions and 👍! LINK TO "GOSH! WHY AREN'T YOU MAKING ICONS FASTER?" GOSH! WHY AREN'T YOU MAKING ICONS FASTER? We're constantly releasing new versions of Font Awesome that add new icons. Designing pixel-perfect icons in multiple styles that work out of the box on the web and desktop thanks to our frameworks can take some time. On top of that, we're still designing features and services that continue to make Font Awesome easier to use in even more places. If we're not making icons, we're thinking about how to help folks use them. If you think we're neglecting a certain request or ask, let us know (nicely, please) in the threads of that issue on GitHub. LINK TO "WHY DO YOU ADD NEW ICONS INSTEAD OF COMPLETING EXISTING REQUESTS?" WHY DO YOU ADD NEW ICONS INSTEAD OF COMPLETING EXISTING REQUESTS? As we mentioned, we choose to work on and add new icons based on several factors. But the biggest reason why we're not just burning down the request list is that we want Font Awesome to always feel consistent, cohesive, and complete. We feel the best way to do that is through planning out categories, and releases of icons - so that each one is deep and thought-out enough to stand alone as set that someone can use in their work. If we just tackled requests as they came, it'd be more difficult to do the same. We do consider existing requests and try to slot them in when they make sense with the categories and releases we're working on. LINK TO "HOW DO YOU CHOOSE WHAT ICONS TO WORK ON?" HOW DO YOU CHOOSE WHAT ICONS TO WORK ON? We haven't developed a sure-fire bullet-proof algorithm yet. But we do have several factors that go into figuring out what to add to Font Awesome. We definitely keep a sharp eye on the Icon Requests Leaderboard for the top icon and category requests. We also take a look at what folks are looking for on this site that we don't have. There are other factors that come into play such as if we have folks who want to commission an icon or category; timely subject matter (e.g. The Olympics, holidays, seasonal topics); common use cases people need icons for (e.g. text editor menus or highlighting stops/landmarks on maps). Again it's not a science, but we do try to keep the community informed on what we're working on. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LINK TO SWAG + GOODIES SWAG + GOODIES Advertisement REMOVE ADS WITH A PRO PLAN!

Sign in LINK TO "WHAT IS DPF AND HOW DOES IT APPLY TO ME?" WHAT IS DPF AND HOW DOES IT APPLY TO ME? The DPF is the European Union - United States Data Privacy Framework. The purpose of this regulation is to facilitate the transfer of personal data from the EU to the US. At the moment we do not participate in the DPF but we are planning to participate in the near future. If you are a US citizen, this has effectively no impact on your experience with Font Awesome, save for the fact that we have made some minor modifications to process flows. For example, you must explicitly agree to our privacy policy and terms of service before creating an account. If you are an EU, UK, or Swiss citizen, to comply with GDPR we previously required you to self-host our icons. As the DPF constitutes an adequacy decision to transfer data to Font Awesome and our agents, you can safely allow us to serve icons to your users via our edge network, etc. For more information on the EU-U.S.-DPF, see the EU-U.S.-DPF Website. LINK TO "HOW DOES FONT AWESOME ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS?" HOW DOES FONT AWESOME ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS? Under GDPR, we are not allowed to transfer personal data out of the EU without explicit consent and a reason for the transfer with the exception that authorization is not required where there is an adequacy decision. Font Awesome plans to use the adequacy decision under the EU-U.S.-DPF for these transfers. For the time being, continue to self-host for maximum risk reduction as regards GDPR. LINK TO "HOW DO I CONTACT SOMEONE ABOUT PRIVACY ISSUES OR CONCERNS?" HOW DO I CONTACT SOMEONE ABOUT PRIVACY ISSUES OR CONCERNS? Any privacy issues or concerns should be sent to privacy@fontawesome.com. We are required by law to address these concerns in a timely manner (at maximum, 45 days). We send an automated response to all incoming email to privacy@fontawesome.com as there are common issues that are easily addressed. If your issue requires an additional response, we review all incoming emails and will typically respond within 1-3 business days. LINK TO "HOW DO I GET A COPY OF THE DATA YOU HAVE ABOUT ME?" HOW DO I GET A COPY OF THE DATA YOU HAVE ABOUT ME? You can download a copy of your personal data by visiting the Settings section of your Font Awesome Account: 1. Login to Font Awesome 2. Go to your Account page 3. Select the Settings tab 4. Scroll down to the Personal Data section and select the "Download Personal Data" button Because we make no initial attempt to correlate your account with connection data we use for troubleshooting, that data is not available in the download option above. LINK TO "HOW DO I AMEND MY DATA?" HOW DO I AMEND MY DATA? Most data can be amended from within your Font Awesome account and settings pages. 1. Login to your Font Awesome Account 2. Go to the Account Page 3. Find the option the data that needs to be changed 4. Change it In some instances there may be data you cannot amend directly in your account. In those cases, simply contact support via the support link or send an email to hello@fontawesome.com. We should be able to assist you with any amendments, providing the amendment doesn't violate security (e.g., we can't amend the value of a token to correspond with another user's token or set your bandwidth usage to a lower value.) LINK TO "HOW DO I DELETE MY DATA?" HOW DO I DELETE MY DATA? For FREE accounts: 1. Login to Font Awesome 2. Go to your Account Page 3. Select the Settings tab 4. Select the "Delete Font Awesome Account" button 5. Send an email to hello@fontawesome.com with a request to delete your account THIS WILL IMMEDIATELY AND IRREVOCABLY DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT. WE CANNOT RECOVER YOUR ACCOUNT FROM THIS ACTION. For PAID accounts: Because our deletion process is immediate and irrevocable, and paid accounts nominally have value for the remainder of their term, we require account termination of paid accounts via email to hello@fontawesome.com. We do not have an account retention department nor do we attempt to convince you to keep your account. We simply verify you understand that deleting an account is an immediate and irrevocable action before proceeding. LINK TO "DOES FONT AWESOME SHARE MY DATA WITH 3RD PARTIES?" DOES FONT AWESOME SHARE MY DATA WITH 3RD PARTIES? In general, no. There are no 3rd parties with whom we expressly or directly share the data we collect about our users. As a small company, we don't build and maintain data centers. Instead, we use cloud-based services. This means all the data we collect ultimately resides on a server that is physically owned by someone else. We leverage agreements with these organizations that guarantees they do not access the data we store for any reason. These agreements are the critical mechanism by which we can offer our services while remaining compliant with the EU-U.S.-DPF and GDPR. Despite the above, we are generally considered liable for all forward transfers of data. As a company subject to US laws, we may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. LINK TO "TO WHICH US AUTHORITIES IS FONT AWESOME SUBJECT?" TO WHICH US AUTHORITIES IS FONT AWESOME SUBJECT? The US system of law is complex but our services may be subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the FTC, the DOT, or any other relevant U.S. authorized statutory body. LINK TO "WHAT SECURITY MEASURES DOES FONT AWESOME TAKE TO SECURE MY DATA?" WHAT SECURITY MEASURES DOES FONT AWESOME TAKE TO SECURE MY DATA? Font Awesome begins its security process with training all employees on the necessity and specifics of security. Because we are a small company, this training is conducted by the Head of Security, who is able to communicate one-on-one with all employees to validate their understanding of pivotal underlying principles. Font Awesome's security posture and activities are determined via threat modeling. The Head of Security, along with Engineering Management, and individual contributors periodically review and update the threat model as necessary and prioritize actions based on the model. At the point that the data is gathered, Font Awesome guarantees that all data is appropriately encrypted using industry standard best practices. This guarantees that data cannot practically be collected while in transit. At the point where the data is stored, we encrypt the volume to prevent it from being read in the event the data is somehow lost or compromised. Additionally, access to the volume is controlled via a multi-factor authentication scheme which is auditable so that we can determine who has accessed the data and when. We account for each service or 3rd party system that is associated with user data, add it to the threat model, and secure the configuration based on best practices in the industry or as suggested by the provider. Access to these systems is controlled via accounts which are centrally managed and auditable. We use policies that clearly lay out expectations around the use and access of personal data and lay out consequences of misuse or other violations of the policy. These policies also cover limitation of use to the specific reasons for which the data has been collected and forbids any alteration or other violation of integrity without the consent of the user. Additionally, we personally audit these processes (yearly at most but as often as required). LINK TO "FURTHER INFORMATION AND TECHNICAL DETAILS" FURTHER INFORMATION AND TECHNICAL DETAILS We keep and maintain a GitHub repository with our full security and attestation docs, including diagrams and policies.

The above items are items we collect to provide our service. There are other pieces of data that we generate for the purpose of providing our service. These include tokens, timestamps, user settings and preferences. Alone, none of these pieces of data would likely constitute personal data as they can't be used to identify a natural person. However, with perfect knowledge of the system, in certain aggregate pieces, or if all our data was compromised, this data could be directly associated with a natural person. Erring on the side of caution as regards providing information to users, we have implemented a system where you can download all the data we have associated with an account here: https://fontawesome.com/account/settings. We believe some of this data doesn't qualify as personal data but it is data you would be able to access in any case via various parts of our system. We have simply wrapped it up into a convenient and transferable JSON format. However, any data that we COULD have but that is not populated is omitted. We do this so that an attacker cannot create a free account and enumerate all the data aspects of our system. If you have any questions or concerns about the data we have presented, believe there is an issue or that something is incomplete, please contact us at privacy@fontawesome.com. We will be happy to review your concerns and provide any additional clarity we can based on our understanding of GDPR and similar legislation. We do reserve the right to deny access to information if we believe it presents unnecessary risk to our system or security. LINK TO "DOES FONT AWESOME USE COOKIES AND IF SO WHICH ONES?"
