**Fork Awesome is a suite of 796 pictographic and brand icons for easy, scalable vector graphics on websites and beyond.**
This project, as the name suggests, began as a fork of [Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com). Font Awesome was originally created by [Dave Gandy](https://twitter.com/davegandy) and ran as a community project. However, as Font Awesome developed, pull requests from the community stopped being accepted (October 2016) and as of version 5.0 [the build system became private](https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/12199#issuecomment-362919956) (February 2018).

With gratitude to Dave Gandy and the Font Awesome team, [Julien](https://github.com/xuv) [Deswaef](https://merveilles.town/@xuv) forked Font Awesome 4.7 into [Fork Awesome 1.0](https://github.com/ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome/releases/tag/1.0.0) in February 2018, to continue building the amazing resource in a fully free, libre and open-source fashion, with and for the wider community. After a period of extended inactivity (i.e. no release since February 2019), several Fork Awesome users [got](https://github.com/ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome/issues/292) [together](https://github.com/ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome/issues/235) to try and revive the project 🌱

We are now catching up with backlogged issues and pull requests, updating technology and documentation — even reevaluating the project aims, as icon fonts gradually [become](https://www.irigoyen.dev/blog/2021/02/17/stop-using-icon-fonts/) [deprecated](https://cloudfour.com/thinks/seriously-dont-use-icon-fonts/). Come say hi in the [#forkawesome:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#forkawesome:matrix.org) matrix room 🙂
