Hi, the new religion icons from version 5.3 are really nice.
What do you think? |
@sensibleworld Definitely an improvement over the old icon. 👍🏻 |
as a Jew the start on the book above not reference me like a Jew think. perhaps it look more like as a Islamic star. or the mark used in the past to mark Jews. The first suggestion above seems much more correct and authentic, because the form of the icon is the form of the original Torah scroll of Judaism made of one piece. Indeed, it contains basically only the Torah or the Torah is the first thought when you see the Icon so |
@AndreasAdler @perymimon Thanks for the feedback! We made a couple of updates in the latest release of Font Awesome. The We've also added a new |
It's so nice to see some Jewish font icons! Great work! There are 4 primary forms (IMHO )for a Torah scroll. If there will only be one icon, I would suggest using the Ashkenazi open torah scroll (as @Wingo5315 and @perymimon). It is universally and instantly recognizable. To give a little more context, here's a link explaining how a Torah scroll is used. |
Thanks for the feedback, @yringler! We'll look into getting this updated. |
@sensibleworld Thank you so much for reopening this (and for creating it)! I just wanted to chime in to agree with @yringler and the others above. It's so great to see Jewish icons, and I hesitate to seem ungrateful (because I'm not), but the current one isn't recognizable as a Torah, which has a very well-known and established "look". This is evidenced by a quick image search for "torah" or "torah icon". Personally my preference would be to have an Aleph (the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet) instead of a Star of David, for a variety of reasons (e.g., the aleph is actually used in the Torah scroll itself), but either way would be great. Again, thank you! |
Thanks for all of the feedback on this icon folks. The update was just released: https://fontawesome.com/icons/torah?style=solid |
I think this icon would be useful when it comes to referring to Jewish religious texts in the Torah and displaying The Torah in general. There are two suggestions I have about how to make this icon:
