: Icon/Glyph Suggestions to represent "Manufacturer Information" I'm working on making an ecommerce site responsive, and as part of that, I'm replacing text in several tabs with appropriate icons

@Rivera951

a factory silhouette with an "i" in the middle?

a document/open book (like a catalog)?

If the tab is product-specific, why not just use the information circle with an i inside it? Or replace the tab with an information button next to the item title.

So, as I commented on the original post I could see some kind of tools icon, possibly placed over something representing the information part, like an "i" or instructional booklet. Some examples of the direction I'm talking about: 1, 2, 3, 4.

Now, knowing that the site sells specialty sporting goods equipment I think you can customize it for that even further. Maybe the aforementioned tools could be something more sports related, at least one of them, something easily understandable that relates to the manufacturing of sports products.

Anyway, hope that helps. Would love to see you post here what you end up going with (if at all possible).

If you're already using font awesome, can't you use something like the 'List' icon?

Why not mix in another framework? I find semantic-ui to be much easier and superior to bootstrap. They also have a much wider range of icons.
semantic-ui.com/elements/icon.html
Take a look at that page in particular under maps there is an icon called building. This might work well to represent an organisation.

If you have any issues with this leave me a comment and I will provide you with an example when I am back at my computer.

Apologies for any formatting issues in this answer it was written on my mobile.
