  • Posted to Font Awesome 5 Kickstarter Hits $1M - Open sources SVG + JS Frameworks, Dec 01, 2016

    Hey, all.

    As part of the Font Awesome team, I just wanted to say thanks for all of the support we received from the community over the past month. We never thought we'd receive this much support to re-tool and re-design Font Awesome.

    We're stoked to be able to open source a framework to make using Font Awesome icons with SVGs as easy as it has been for years via icon fonts.

    Feel free to post any questions for the team or me, we're happy to try to provide details on any specifics.

    PS - There are a few hours left if you want to help support!

    Good suggestion, James. We're adding a bunch of brand icons to version 5, I'll put that one on the voting list.

    Hey, Kyle! Thanks for the support.

    We're looking at a potential stretch goal of adding different weights/styles of each icon that would be right up your request's alley. Stay tuned! :)

    Hey, all!

    Quick update - our team was blown away yesterday at the level of support the Kickstarter received from folks. it means a lot to see our community give so much support :)

    We're fully funded, hit most of our inital stretch goals, and are not stopping there!

    Dave just posted a Kickstarter update. In short, we need your help to determine what else we can do to help the Design community. I know things like Sketch and CC Plugins are on my list, but please share your thoughts with us and thanks again for all of the support.

    Yeah, duotone has been a technical and design problem we've been kicking around for a bit now. Glad to have a chance to crank on it for folks. Thanks, Joshua!
