Chapter 11: Icons Autumn
1. What is the “Icons Autumn” Page?
This is a themed cheat-sheet listing only the free Font Awesome 5 icons that fit an autumn/fall season vibe.
These icons represent harvest time, cozy weather, falling leaves, Thanksgiving vibes, back-to-school feel, or anything evoking September–November in the Northern Hemisphere:
- Leaves changing color
- Fruits of the season (apples, pumpkins)
- Outdoor activities (hiking, football)
- Weather (clouds, sun)
- Food (drumsticks for Thanksgiving roast)
Font Awesome 5 grouped these into an “Autumn” category (added in later updates like 5.4+). The free selection is small but very useful for seasonal designs, blogs, event pages, or fall-themed UIs. (Newer FA6/7 expanded seasonal categories a lot more.)
2. Main Free Autumn Icons in Font Awesome 5 (From the W3Schools Page)
Here are the key free ones you’ll see in the table (all solid fas style unless noted — these are the classics from FA5 free):
- Apple Alt (red apple – harvest symbol) <i class=”fas fa-apple-alt”></i>
- Cloud Sun (partly cloudy autumn day) <i class=”fas fa-cloud-sun”></i>
- Drumstick Bite (roast turkey leg – Thanksgiving feast) <i class=”fas fa-drumstick-bite”></i>
- Football Ball (American football – fall sports season) <i class=”fas fa-football-ball”></i>
- Hiking (person hiking with backpack – autumn trails) <i class=”fas fa-hiking”></i>
- Mountain (mountain landscape – fall foliage views) <i class=”fas fa-mountain”></i>
Other common ones that appear or pair well in autumn themes (sometimes overlapping with Nature/Weather):
- fas fa-leaf variants? (More in later versions; FA5 free is limited)
- fas fa-wind (fall winds)
- fas fa-sun (crisp autumn sun)
The core free Autumn-specific ones focus on harvest/food/outdoor: apple-alt, drumstick-bite, hiking, mountain, football-ball, cloud-sun, etc. (around 6–10 solid free icons in this category).

4. Teacher Tips for Autumn Icons
- Colors — Use warm tones: oranges (#ff8c00), browns (#8b4513), reds (#c41e3a), golds (#ffd700) to match fall palette.
- Size & combo — These icons shine big (fa-4x, fa-5x) on seasonal banners/cards. Combine with weather/nature icons for fuller themes.
- Seasonal swaps — For spring use “Spring” category, summer “Summer”, winter “Winter” — W3Schools has dedicated pages for each!
- Accessibility — Pair with text; add aria-hidden=”true” if purely decorative.
- In newer Font Awesome 6/7, Autumn got more icons (maple leaf, pumpkin, acorn, hay bale) — upgrade for richer fall designs.
