🆚 Fort Awesome vs. Material Icons

Fort Awesome was a commercial icon font service that allowed users to create custom icon fonts by selecting specific icons for their projects.

The service is no longer accepting new sign-ups and directs users to the newer Font Awesome platform instead.

Material Icons is an official icon library created by Google that provides standardized interface icons designed according to the Material Design guidelines.

The set includes thousands of icons across categories such as navigation, communication, media, and editing, and is available in SVG, PNG, and icon font formats, with variants such as filled, outlined, rounded, sharp, and two-tone styles.
