Icon request: icon-freebsd #1116

koobs · 2013-05-19T00:56:12Z

I'd love to see an icon for the FreeBSD Operating System in Font Awesome :)

It would make a great first addition to a new "OS Icons" section of the set and I can think of a few places they would be supremely useful:

Personal Homepages
Showcasing OSS contributions
"Powered By" logos
FreeBSD Project site logos

A couple of the best examples I could find:

+1 from me too. We need to have the FreeBSD icon!

Keyamoon · 2013-12-15T05:30:02Z

You could import this SVG to IcoMoon for now.

korax · 2014-05-18T15:04:24Z

Yes, this is something that we need, having completely adopted FontAwesome in our application.

Using the official vectors, I extracted and rendered some raster graphics. I have the SVGs available.

fa-bsd-o

geoffgarside · 2016-06-30T17:47:53Z

@ryankane they look really good

darkuranium · 2016-06-30T21:33:09Z

@ryankane: Would it be possible to also get the "old-style" (Beastie) logo in some form?

rmkane · 2016-07-01T02:42:07Z

@darkuranium Not perfect, but is this what came to mind?

Keep in mind, this icon has to look legible at smaller sizes. I believe that it has to look good at 14px (minimum).

fa-bsd-beastie

darkuranium · 2016-07-01T10:07:32Z

@ryankane: Yes, that general idea; although obviously stylized a bit to look decent on smaller sizes. I've seen such icons, although unfortunately, I can't remember where. I just think it would be awesome to have it.

SteveHallNNT · 2016-10-05T08:31:17Z

Love @ryankane's fa-bsd and fa-bsd-o icons above - lets get them in!

It's pretty ridicluous this request has been opened for almost four years now. What is taking so long?

danijeljw · 2016-12-22T02:55:34Z

Has anyone made a merge request for this to be added? If not, why don't we just branch it off and make a FontAwesome that includes the FreeBSD instead?

apotheon · 2016-12-22T21:19:14Z

Maybe someone should just turn those fa-bsd(-o) icons into fa-freebsd(-o) icons and submit a pull request, actually.

Add the fa-bsd-beastie while you're at it.

I've started a campaign, giving away the top requests for FA icons for free, open source. You can incorporate them in a number of ways: generating another icon font, svg set, or (my preference) compiling all FA and third party icons into a single file.

The FreeBSD icon is here.

Previous ones were moderator, discord, coins, Google Play, thin close, walking man, t-shirt, Xbox, Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo, PlayStation, Facebook messenger, Line, clean and math icons.

Please let me know if you want me keep going these icon requests, or compile some upgrade file.

apotheon · 2017-06-11T22:53:46Z

Perhaps some information can be mined from this issue about how to put together a successful icon addition request: #113

Evidently, overwhelming support (more than 120 positive comments, vs. the 24 in that thread) means very little. Some other identifiable factors in that thread might be employed to improve the chances of FA devs taking (positive) notice. See also Requesting new icons.
Other than that, I have little idea how to catch some attention for this issue. Perhaps maintaining a consistently-synchronized fork of FA with BSD Unix icons included and periodically submitting a PR would have some effect -- or just eventually cause people to switch to using the fork instead, which might roughly produce the same effect as getting the new icons included in FA itself.

sean- · 2017-06-12T19:58:52Z

@robmadole Do you need a PR to move forward or is the iconography referenced in this issue sufficient?

emaste · 2018-05-25T19:14:17Z

It seems the font-linux project has a FreeBSD icon: https://github.com/cassidyjames/font-linux/blob/master/README.md

emaste · 2018-05-25T19:21:26Z

Hrm, it looks like FontAwesome 5.0 includes the FreeBSD logo?

eternaltyro · 2018-05-26T16:11:30Z

Yes, this can be closed, I think.

koobs · 2018-05-27T02:16:03Z

Closing DONE. Thank you everyone that supported this issue, enjoy!
