Last batch of icons to evaluate for elimination!:

brand bug 馃悰

Most helpful comment

duplicate icons with different names in the library:

  • awake, light, sun
  • misuse--alt, misuse--outline, close--outline
  • close--filled, misuse

updated icons to reduce need for redundancy:

  • arrow--down
  • arrow--left
  • arrow--right
  • arrow--up
  • download
  • error--outline
  • error--filled
  • export
  • information
  • information--filled
  • information--square--filled
  • launch
  • new-tab
  • notification
  • notification--off
  • play
  • redo
  • restart
  • search
  • undo
  • upload
  • user--avatar
  • warning--alt
  • warning--alt--filled
  • zoom--in
  • zoom--out

there are also a few icons that can be reworked to render better at smaller sizes but when proper tweaks are made they just look worse/unbalanced compared to their original versions. I'll need to work with these a bit more:

  • maximize
  • minimize
  • play--filled
  • play--outline
  • play--outline--filled

any icons I update will be included in my next batch PR later this week so once I make that issue I'll reference it here and then when it's merged we should be able to close this one.
