I would hope the people working this case could do the same but I also support the idea of crowd-sourcing.
I personally backed this when it was on Kickstarter for $35 and do not regret my decision. I have used FontAwesome in the past as well as a few other free alternatives. While the javascript-less-ness of FA is nice (Iconic has a webfont), the quality of the icons themselves and their level of customization comes no where near Iconic. Many people have mentioned the multiple colors on 1 icon but I haven't seen anyone talk about the ability to easily theme all icons with just a couple lines of css, which makes the multiple color thing more appealing.
Additionally, Iconic is available as Webfont and PNG if so desired. They are also working on a number of additional features that I find interesting (bottom of the features page https://useiconic.com/feature-index/), specifically ExtendScript for Illustrator and then generation via Grunt.
I am pleased with my $35 purchase and have no reservations about paying the $99 for a commercial license if it fits the project (like any icon set you choose!)...However, for those who haven't had a chance to try it I really wish there was a cheaper/free option for experimenting.
This is exactly what I have always thought which is why I am always surprised to hear outrage about minimum wage jobs that do not provide a living wage yet they seem to think they should...or at least that is what I assume when they propose unions as a "solution".
