Icon-Button would be very nice!
I have found this - maybe as a starting-point:

Wait, is this still valid? I mean this
<a class="btn btn-floating btn-flat"><i class="material-icons">close</i></a>
essentially does what this issue is referring to, no?
This looks a little better to me in my layout:
<a class="btn-flat right waves-circle"><i class="material-icons">close</i></a>
Please close this issue.

The proposed solution is a bit of a hack. An icon-button is not a FAB, and should have separate styles defined. The default style for an icon button should be flat and, color should not be explicitly set to white.
