At present, we use a mixture of Font Awesome and custom icons on our websites. However Font Awesome is freemium, and while the free set is extensive, I'd like to switch to a truly FOSS icon set.
There are three main contenders:
Ura Design previously redrew several custom icons of ours in the rounded Material Symbols style at a weight of 400: Ura Design Styleguide / Custom Icons.
Yes, finished up the other housekeeping tasks as well :)
Final icons: Figma file

Could you also paste a link and attach a single PNG snapshot of the final icons to this ticket for the Gitlab record, please?
I know we discussed a couple of housekeeping tasks last week like quasi-alphabetizing the icons and deleting extraneous pages, so if that's all done and the file's tidy—go for it!
hey @donuts am I good to close this ticket?
Moving this issue into Sponsor 101 as the VPN is our first priority for the new icon library.
my understanding is that they should all be 2px width at 24px, right?
Yes please! I think that looks best.

do you know what sizes we will need of each beyond 24px?
Yes, 32px and potentially higher for web (maybe up to 40px?) – however you could just flatten them out so we can reuse and scale up the 24px versions?
