Thanks for awesome icons.
They could be useful for stacking too
Agreed. I'll consider for 4.0. I really want to take stacking and layering to the next level.
Thanks @davegandy my current project requires that kind of shapes. I wondered font awesome will be best solution because i'm using it current project.

Wow someone is creating fake accounts to spam this thread: I mean, I want that Icon too but come on man.

These are not fake account, all of those are real people. They are coming from our Little Web Development Group ;)
Well, excuse me then. Looked like it because of a few recently created accounts.
Whatever - I'm unsubscribing to this thread as this is spamming my mail box.
Good luck!

I also need a hexagon icon.
I also need a hexagon icon too. Would be awesome to have 15 or so geometrical shapes in a font awesome category, as people are saying great for stacking and other purposes.

For those waiting for hexagons. I needed them badly, so I did some research and found this awesome site to build hexagons with CSS http://csshexagon.com/
However, there you design one, then you copy and paste the code. The problem is that is one shot and not dynamically flexible because all the units are pixels. So I break down the geometry and math required and converted to em units. Then I added a couple of tricks to add icons inside, variables to change the color and width only on one place and using filters to add drop shadow.
This will only work on Firefox and Chrome as it, because Edge still do not support CSS variables, forget about Internet "Exploder". At least, if you need support for Edge then you will need to replace the variables on all the locations where the variables are used, but it will make the hexagon color and width static and cannot be changed on the fly.
Based on this research other shapes could be possible, but I do not have them time and I do not have need for them at the moment.
Here is a jsfiddle with the FA stack extensions that I have been working with some samples.

Let me know if you find this useful or if you have some suggestions.

These were released as part of Font Awesome 5 :) Icons have a slight rounding on the edges, as that's consistent with our general look/feel: https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&c=shapes
