    Using the Genesis Sample Stylesheet. I'm guessing that the code would be added somewhere in here? Hopefully?? lol

    .genesis-nav-menu .menu-item {
    display: inline-block;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    padding-bottom: 0;
    text-align: left;
    }

    .genesis-nav-menu a {
    color: #71c0be;
    text-decoration: none;
    display: block;
    padding: 32px 20px;
    }

    .genesis-nav-menu a:hover,
    .genesis-nav-menu a:focus,
    .genesis-nav-menu .current-menu-item > a,
    .genesis-nav-menu .sub-menu .current-menu-item > a:hover,
    .genesis-nav-menu .sub-menu .current-menu-item > a:focus {
    color: #d6ece7!important;
    text-decoration: underline;
    text-decoration-color: #71c0be;
    }

    I'd be happy to just use the Font Awesome icons, and color them to match my theme (background linear fade).

    Is there a simple way to do this?

    Thanks in advance!

    It looks like you figured it out: I see the Font Awesome icons above the nav labels. Nice!
