4 New icons mostly start as requests by the
5 <a href="{{ site.fontawesome.github.url }}/issues">Font Awesome community on GitHub</a>. Want to request a new
6 icon? Here are some things to keep in mind:
9 <li>Please be nice. Font Awesome is a happy place.</li>
10 <li>Please <a href="{{ site.fontawesome.github.url }}/search?type=Issues">search</a> to see if your icon request already exists.</li>
12 Please and thank you if you include the following:
15 Title your <a href="{{ site.fontawesome.github.url }}/issues/new?title=Icon%20Request:%20icon-name">new issue</a>
16 <code>Icon request: icon-name</code>.
18 <li>Include a few use cases for your requested icon. How do you plan on using it?</li>
19 <li>Attach a single color image or two that represent the idea you're going for.</li>
