Icon Request: icon-stack #11203

Open UrsBeeli opened 7 years ago

UrsBeeli commented 7 years ago

For a technicall application where the user can create and manage queue-objects and stack-objects I am looking for a corresponding icon.

I've seen the two requests for queue-icons #5515, #4214 but those requests are requesting icons to symbolise people queueing. In both requests the suggestion was made to use a symbolic representation, such as I am requesting. However, as those original requesters were looking for queueing-symbols depicting people queueing, I thought it would make more sense to create a separate request.

fa-bars and fa-stack-overflow come close but don't quite fit my needs. I am attaching a sample of what I am hoping for. fa-stack: stack-top

Thanks for considering this request.

Does something like this work? https://fontawesome.com/icons/layer-group?style=solid

UrsBeeli commented 6 years ago

Thanks for pointing this out. However, I am not sure how good a match it is. We would need it to illustrate communication queues, the stacked layers don't really convey this meaning well.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.

Applications utilize 'queue' concept for moving data asynchronously between parts of an application or across distributed systems

Queue: vertical cylinder (different from database) or stack as @UrsBeeli shared
