Font Awesome doesn't work with CSS rotation - html

Question

I am trying to rotate the icons on hover over. It doesn't seem to be working for me. The transition effect works fine. I wonder if I am using wrong tags for applying the rotation. Here is the code:
#import 'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css';
#import 'https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.6.3/css/font-awesome.min.css';
.list-icon-wrapper {
text-align: center;
}
.aticon i {
border-radius: 50%;
background: #5e8cfa;
width: 160px;
height: 160px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 100px;
vertical-align: middle;
padding: 30px;
color: #fff;
font-size: 60px;
}
.icon-wrapper:hover i {
background: #fff;
color: #5e8cfa;
border: 1px solid #5e8cfa;
transition: all 0.6s ease 0s;
-webkit-transition: all 0.6s ease 0s;
-moz-transition: all 0.6s ease 0s;
-ms-transition: all 0.6s ease 0s;
-o-transition: all 0.6s ease 0s;
display: inline-block;
}
.aticon:hover .fa {
transform: rotate(360deg);
-webkit-transform: rotate(360deg);
-o-transform: rotate(360deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(360deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(360deg);
}
.list-icon-wrapper .icon-wrapper p {
padding: 0 5px;
font-weight: 500;
font-size: 18px;
margin-top: 15px;
color: #000;
text-align: center;
display: inline-block;
}
<div class="list-icon-wrapper">
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="icon-wrapper">
<span class="aticon">
<i class="fa fa-magnet"></i>
</span>
<p>Magnet</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="icon-wrapper">
<span class="aticon">
<i class="fa fa-clock-o"></i>
</span>
<p>Clock</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>

FontAwesome actually renders the icon on the :before pseudo-element rather than as a background image. I think all you need to do is target that rather than the .fa element. This should get you started.
.icon-wrapper:hover .fa::before {
background: #fff;
color: #5e8cfa;
border: 1px solid #5e8cfa;
transition: all 0.6s ease 0s;
-webkit-transition: all 0.6s ease 0s;
-moz-transition: all 0.6s ease 0s;
-ms-transition: all 0.6s ease 0s;
-o-transition: all 0.6s ease 0s;
display: inline-block;
}
.aticon:hover .fa::before {
transform-origin: center;
-ms-transform-origin: center;
-webkit-transform-origin: center;
transform: rotate(360deg);
-webkit-transform: rotate(360deg);
-o-transform: rotate(360deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(360deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(360deg);
}
