Font-awesome: Icon Request: Compact Disc (icon-cd icon-dvd icon-bluray)
…it would be a nice complement to the video player icons. Perhaps a section of film would be cool too, if that hasn't already been suggested.

What's the semantic use you're looking for? I'm not fond of trying to add an actual compact disc. :)

semantic use would be 'export audio', 'digital image', etc. It could also be one image that would also represent cds, dvd, blue-ray and anything else similar in the future.

My use for it is simple, I'm working on a site that catalogs music. Search results have icons next to them that quickly and easily identify them as artists, albums, or individual songs. A compact disc is, I think, very easily associated with a collection of songs.

I would love to see this as well. It would be very useful for music or audio based sites that need to show how many albums an artist has, etc.

Our case for the usage is that we do have products on our site which are on DVD, others not. Right now we show a customized icon for this case.

+1 To this for a social music sharing use. Identifying Track/Artist/Album would be much easier with an Album icon.

For the creative people here, if you stack 3 life-ring's on each other and rotate them by 0, 35 and 65 it almost makes a perfect circle.. its closest thing to a disk

How is it possible that this thread for an incredibly generic and basic icon has been open for 2 years(!) without even so much as an up-to-date developer response or assignment, while new 'brand icons' keep getting added continuously? This is not good, guys.
joepie91
on 24 Dec 2014
@joepie91 generic but not so popular: only 39 comments in 2 years :)
I hope that you will find this icon in the next release but I don't know Dave's plans
If you need this icon now, I should suggest you to consider a custom build of fontawesome.
Take a look at:
https://fonticons.com/ (by Dave - adding custom icons is not possible in the free tier)

Actually there is a unicode character for a cd-rom (229a). There may be even multiple.
just add following custom css:
.fa-cd:before{content: "\229a";}
and use the class:
<i class="fa fa-cd"></i>
The entire unicode-charset is easy to find on the web: eg.
https://unicode-table.com/en/#mathematical-operators
EDIT:
Crissov already mentioned some more awesome unicode characters for the cd-rom. Just replace 229a with the code coming after the U+

What's the semantic use you're looking for?
@davegandy ISO file, DVD, Blueray, etc. Semantic seems pretty obvious to me and apparently to many people. I was very surprise not to find this icon in Font-Awesome. Especially when I find an icon of a shower or a bath in the latest release ;) I don't understand what is the problem of adding a simple CD.

A lot of icons can now be "assembled" with the layering and masking features in FA5. I've managed to make a pretty reasonable facsimile of a CD Album:
<span class="fa-layers fa-fw" style="font-size:20px">
<i class="fas fa-square-full"></i>
<i class="fas fa-square-full fa-inverse" data-fa-transform="shrink-3"></i>
<i class="fas fa-circle" data-fa-transform="shrink-4"></i>
<i class="fas fa-circle fa-inverse" data-fa-transform="shrink-20"></i>
</span>

I'm not sure these exist anymore ;P https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&q=compact
icons exist in solid, regular and light sets in fa v5.8
fa-compact-disc would suffice for a data disc icon, but it would be nice to have a combination icon to use for music/video ... possibly fa-cd-music and fa-cd-movie?
the combo icons having the basic compact disc icon, with the contained media type as an overlay
would be handy in the case of media collections
gr8kodr

@gr8kodr I was joking that CDs no longer exist :)
But yes, combo icons would be nice!
