Dear Awesome Backers,

Wow...Just wow. Thanks to all of your incredible support, you reached every stretch goal we could think of! Again, we are just so humbled and amazed and thankful for your support.

Just to summarize, Pro backers will be getting, at minimum:

  • 675 FA Free icons (redesigned on 16px grid)
  • 1000 Pro icons (originally included with Pro)
  • 6 icon category packs (originally included with Pro)
  • 46 additional icon packs (earned through stretch goals, includes 10 icons in Free + 20 more in Pro)
  • 4 sponsored premium icon packs (includes 20 in Free + 30 more in Pro)
  • 83 commissioned icons (to be included in Free + Pro)
  • 69 new company logo icons (sponsored, in Free + Pro)
  • 600 Duotone icons (Pro only)
  • Additional thin style icon set (Pro only)
  • "Designing an Awesome Icon Set" eBook
  • Design plug-ins for Sketch, Illustrator, and Photoshop (Pro only)
  • Icon subsetter tool (Pro only)
  • iOS + Android support (added to FA Free + Pro)
  • Font Awesome Pro CDN (one year free)
  • Font Awesome Community forum 
  • JS Component Packages for React, Angular, Ember.js, and Vue.js (added to FA Free + Pro)
  • SVG Framework (added to FA Free + Pro)

Whew! (Did I miss anything?) This is quite a task list that we have in front of us. We can't wait to get started!

Timeline

Like we said, our top priority is to deliver the original Pro set by May of 2017 (if not earlier). We'll be working on a rough timeline next week for delivering the rest of your stretch goals, so please keep an eye out for that update.

Surveys

Once all of the Kickstarter processing clears, we'll be sending out email surveys via Backerkit to sort through all of your license/mug/t-shirt preferences, so definitely keep an eye out for that as well. (In the meantime, please make sure that your email is updated in your Kickstarter account)

Repo Access

Stay tuned for info about getting access to our Github repo until we get the Font Awesome Community tools up and running. We look forward to hearing all of your ideas and feedback as we're building Pro.

Thank you all again! Time to get started.

-Dave, Travis, Rob, & Brian

$1M funded!

You all are ridiculously awesome. Seriously.

Last night around 3am EST, the Font Awesome Kicstarter crossed the $1M mark, meaning that the SVG framework and JS components will be open sourced! Oh, and for good measure you've already funded another icon pack, making a total of 44 categories!

Thank you. Just... Thank you. This is going to be so much fun to make. And we're super-excited for you all to be involved all along the way!

-Dave, Travis, Rob, & Brian

Follow along with less than 4 hours remaining!

So close to more sprinkles!

Okay, wow. I really was not expecting this. We're at $950k already with just 16 hours left in the campaign!

We can do this!

Please help us get to $1M and we'll open source the SVG framework and JS component packages! So please, please consider one of the following:

  • Add anything extra to your pledge to help!
  • Add an extra $20 and you'll get another Pro license to gift a friend!
  • Add an extra $30 for each mug or t-shirt you want (those mugs are seriously the most secretly awesome reward)!
  • Ask your company to go for the $2k "Your Logo in Font Awesome" reward!
  • Share with your friends and help spread the word!

Thank you all again so very much. Seriously. You're Awesome.

$900k reached and less than 24 hours left!

Hey Awesome backers! We just hit $900K! That means FA Pro is getting some super-sweet JavaScript component packages for React, Angular, Ember.js, and Vue.js.


Want to help us share the love?

With less than 24 hours remaining, that $1M stretch goal is still...well, a bit of a stretch. BUT if all of our backers added only $3 to their pledges we'd be there! Just sayin... ;) And if you like, you can add a bit extra to your pledge and grab an extra license ($20), mug ($30), shirt ($30), or heck. Get your company logo added for $2,000!

And seriously, thank you all so much for backing this project. We are beyond excited to get started.

Stretch goal crushed + give an Awesome gift!

1. Font Awesome Community + Voting!

You all just crushed through the $800k goal and funded the Font Awesome Community + Voting platform! And that makes 35 icon category packs for all Pro backers. Nice work! Next up is the JS Component Libraries at $900k!

2. Just 3 days left to support Font Awesome 5!

Help us spread the word so everyone gets more sprinkles, like more icon packs, JS Component Libraries, and even open source SVG Framework! The price will never be this low ever again, so make sure your friends get this crazy good deal before it disappears!

3. Need a gift idea?

Did you know you can gift Font Awesome Pro licenses? Just add an extra $20 per license to your pledge and give an Awesome gift to your friends!
