How We'll Work

Icon Design Workflow

We'll be releasing design concepts for icons as we make progress. Please check the project's milestones for icon design status. Icons will be organized in the following ways:

• Icons will be kept within the icons directory in the repo.
• Font Awesome Free icons will be organized in the icons/free directory
• Font Awesome Pro icons will be organized in the icons/pro directory
• Icon category packs will be contained within the _categories folder of free/pro directories.
• Each icon will have a production-ready version ([icon-name].svg) created for each of its styles and states.
• We may eventually add preview boards of different icon groups (styles, categories, etc.) for easier browsing/consistency reviews.
• We may share more work in progress files for specific icons as part of pull requests.

We'll use the following tools to design and produce icons:

• Adobe Illustrator
• Inkscribe
• SVGO for optimization

Questions and Contact Us

Font Awesome Pro received backing by thousands of people (thanks again!). With that said, addressing each and every question is a lot of work and the more the community and documentation can help each other, the more we can use that time to focus on getting Pro features out. If you do need to reach out to us, here's how to do it:

• General/Business inquiries - email hello@fontawesome.com
• Account/Billing-related inquiries - email hello@fontawesome.com
• Questions about our Kickstarter campaign - If you are a backer (thanks, btw!), please reply to individual updates or send a message through Kickstarter.

Versioning

Font Awesome Pro will be maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible. Releases will be numbered with the following format:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>

And constructed with the following guidelines:

• Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)
• New additions, including new icons, without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor (and resets the patch)
• Bug fixes, changes to brand logos, and misc changes bumps the patch
