  3. Can’t find the answer to your question on Stack Overflow? Ask a new question then.

Requesting New Icons

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

  1. Please be nice. Fork Awesome is a happy place.
  2. Please go through existing icon requests if it already exists. If a request is found, please add a 👍 reaction to 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 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. ☺
