Confused by this project and the icons included in ionic2

[mburger81]

The icons we see in the new ionic2 documentation are different from this icons, there are less icons and different for any mobile device (md, ios, windows) which is all okay.

But I don't know what is the difference between this project and the other icons. In the ionic2 documentation there is now hint to this icons.

But if I create a new project with the ionic-cli there is a npm package included "ionicons" i version 3.0.0
which should be this npm packge https://www.npmjs.com/package/ionicons
On the page there is the link for the github project which is still this project here!
In this project you link to this page http://ionicons.com/

But there is the problem, the icons included in my ionic2 project are not the same as I can see in your linked page!

So now I'm a little bit confused!

Can we use or can we not use this icons in ionic2 project? Is your readme wrong?
What are the difference between this icons and which are the ideas of the ionic team about the icons?

This is my ionic forum post

This project is the one they use for ionic2. Just not the master branch but 3.0 branch

okay thank you

the thing which was confusing me, also on the branch 3.0.0 you link to the http://ionicons.com page where are the old icon set.
And the other thing I see only now, on the 2.0.1 there are also 3 sets of icons
ion-android-*
ion-ios-*
ion-*
So there are not really more than now in 3.0.0 :slight_smile:

For our project wee need so many more md icons for example the official from google

https://material.io/icons/

Is there a way we can include some of them and use them as in ion-icons or ion-button or ion-list??
This would for sure helpfull for many of us

thx so much

Ionicons.com has not yet been updated w/ Ionicons v3, which Ionic2 uses.
You can browse the v3 icons at http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/ionicons/
