The reception for the Font Awesome 5 Kickstarter has been greater than we ever expected. As a thank you to everyone, we’re extending all early backer rewards for the remainder of the Kickstarter! Seriously, thank you. You all are Awesome. Font Awesome makes it easy to add vector icons and social logos to your website. And Pro gives 1,000+ more icons and SVG framework!
Features and Benefits of Font Awesome 5
Font Awesome 5 is not just an upgrade; it’s a complete overhaul that brings a plethora of new features and improvements. One of the standout features is the extensive library of over 1,000 icons, which includes everything from basic shapes to complex social media logos. This makes it incredibly versatile for web developers and designers who need a wide range of icons for different projects.
The SVG framework is another significant addition. SVG, or Scalable Vector Graphics, allows icons to be scaled to any size without losing quality. This is particularly useful for responsive web design, where elements need to look good on both small mobile screens and large desktop monitors. The SVG framework also supports CSS styling, making it easier to customize the appearance of icons to match the overall design of your website.
Community and Support
The success of the Kickstarter campaign is a testament to the strong community support behind Font Awesome. With over 26,000 backers, it’s clear that there is a high demand for a reliable and versatile icon library. The developers have also been very responsive to community feedback, incorporating suggestions and reaching numerous stretch goals to add even more features and icons.
For those who opt for the Pro version, additional benefits include priority support and access to exclusive icons. This can be a significant advantage for businesses and developers who need reliable and timely assistance. The Pro version also offers more frequent updates, ensuring that users always have access to the latest icons and features.
There are 6 days left on the campaign and plenty of stretch goals have been reached. For more information on the new Font Awesome 5 software, jump over to the Kickstarter website for details by following the link below.
