Solution 1
To place the text bellow the button, add display: block
:
.my-text {
display: block;
font-family: "Courier-new";
}
To center your image, add a text-align
:
.my-fancy-container {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 6px;
display: inline-block;
margin: 60px;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
}
For the arrow, add a div
and this css :
<div class="arrow-down"></div>
CSS:
.arrow-down {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 5px solid transparent;
border-right: 5px solid transparent;
border-top: 5px solid black;
margin: 0 auto;
}

I need to create a button with a font awesome icon and a text below that icon for a navigation menu. The result should look like i.e. the icons in the MS ribbon:
I also need the arrow below of that (ie. "new"-button) for more options...
This is how I would create the button:

.my-fancy-container { display: inline-block; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-radius: 6px; margin: 60px; padding: 10px; } .my-text { font-family: "Courier-new"; } .my-icon { vertical-align: middle; font-size: 40px; }
<div class="my-fancy-container"> <span class='icon icon-file-text my-icon'></span> <span class="my-text">New</span> </div>
