I can't seem to get my font-awesome icon ( a research-gate icon) to have a border radius. I've tried both svg and the direct link, but the border-radius CSS rules don't seem to apply.

<script defer src="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.0.13/js/fontawesome.js" integrity="sha384-6OIrr52G08NpOFSZdxxz1xdNSndlD4vdcf/q2myIUVO0VsqaGHJsB0RaBE01VTOY" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>


<a href="https://www.researchgate.com"><i class="fab fa-researchgate"></i></a>

.svg-inline--fa.fa-researchgate.fa-w-14 {
  color:#40BA9B;
  border-radius: 25px !important;
  border:1px !important;
  height:25px;
  width:25px;
  vertical-align: bottom;  
}

Is this possible? I'm out of other solutions.

The SVG code itself is not a square, so it doesn't appear to take the border-radius correctly. Here is an example after updating the SVG code to square dimensions. However, this does change a FontAwesome icon so I cannot necessarily recommend this route - I just wanted to explain why and provide an example.

svg.fa-researchgate {
  color: #40BA9B;
  border-radius: 50%;
  height: 25px;
  width: 25px;
}
<svg aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" data-prefix="fab" data-icon="researchgate" class="svg-inline--fa fa-researchgate" role="img" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 448 448"><path fill="currentColor" d="M0,0V448H448V0ZM262.2,334.4c-6.6,3-33.2,6-50-14.2-9.2-10.6-25.3-33.3-42.2-63.6-8.9,0-14.7,0-21.4-.6v46.4c0,23.5,6,21.2,25.8,23.9v8.1c-6.9-.3-23.1-.8-35.6-.8-13.1,0-26.1.6-33.6.8v-8.1c15.5-2.9,22-1.3,22-23.9V193c0-22.6-6.4-21-22-23.9V161c25.8,1,53.1-.6,70.9-.6,31.7,0,55.9,14.4,55.9,45.6,0,21.1-16.7,42.2-39.2,47.5,13.6,24.2,30,45.6,42.2,58.9,7.2,7.8,17.2,14.7,27.2,14.7v7.3Zm22.9-135c-23.3,0-32.2-15.7-32.2-32.2V135c0-12.2,8.8-30.4,34-30.4s30.4,17.9,30.4,17.9l-10.7,7.2s-5.5-12.5-19.7-12.5c-7.9,0-19.7,7.3-19.7,19.7v26.8c0,13.4,6.6,23.3,17.9,23.3,14.1,0,21.5-10.9,21.5-26.8H288.7V149.5h30.4c0,20.5,4.7,49.9-34,49.9ZM168.6,244.1c-9.4,0-13.6-.3-20-.8V173.6c6.4-.6,15-.6,22.5-.6,23.3,0,37.2,12.2,37.2,34.5C208.3,229.4,193.3,244.1,168.6,244.1Z"></path></svg>

Drop shadow around it CSS drop-shadow()

For example like that: 

svg {
  color:#40BA9B;
  height:50px;
  width:50px;
}

#example_1 {
  filter: 
    drop-shadow(2px -2px 0px black) 
    drop-shadow(-2px 2px 0px black) 
    drop-shadow(2px 2px 0px black) 
    drop-shadow(-2px -2px 0px black) 
}
