Icon Request: icon-hacker-news-sign

[swanson]

Along the same lines as the github/twitter/facebook sign icons, would be nice to have one for the Hacker News "Y"

I've rigged something together with the blank sign and a span but it seems hacky and doesn't scale.

As someone who would rather not see "icon bloat" (so I don't have to deal with subsetting the font)... I think that Hacker News is both such a "niche" site (compared to Twitter, for example), and so easy to implement without an extra icon (just slap a normal "Y" on top of icon-sign-blank -- it's not like it even has an official logo, really), that a separate icon for it is not really worth the extra bytes for all the sites that use FontAwesome. (As much as I love Hacker News, BTW!)

Devil's advocate: Trello and Gittip certainly seem more "niche" than HN.

I just figured that since the fontawesome HN user always posts new version to HN and they get to the front page of HN that an HN icon made sense :)

I totally agree with you about Trello and Gittip :)

Yeah... I almost wonder if, with some of the icons, at some sense it'll make sense to split them into separate files. Dunno, depends on how much it grows.

Or a new brand only - FontAwesomeLogo font :)
