| # Material design icons |
| |
| Material design icons are the official [icon set](http://www.google.com/design/spec/style/icons.html#icons-system-icons) from Google that are designed under the [material design guidelines](http://www.google.com/design/spec). |
| |
| ### 2.1 Update |
| |
| The 2.1 update adds 96 new icons! |
| |
| Check out what's new in the [material icons library](https://www.google.com/design/icons/). |
| |
| ## Getting Started |
| |
| Read the [developer guide](http://google.github.io/material-design-icons/) on how to use the material design icons in your project. |
| |
| ### Using a font collection |
| |
| The `iconfont` folder contains pre-generated font files that can be included in a project. This is especially convenient for the web; however, it is generally better to link to the web font hosted on Google Fonts: |
| |
| ```html |
| <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" |
| rel="stylesheet"> |
| ``` |
| |
| Read more in the [font portion](http://google.github.io/material-design-icons/#icon-font-for-the-web) of our full developer guide. |
| |
| ### Using symbols and sprites |
| |
| The `css-sprite` and `svg-sprite` folders contain pre-generated sprite sheets, as well as svg symbols that can be `<use>`d more directly and with fewer constraints. Instructions for using them are in the [sprites documentation](https://github.com/google/material-design-icons/tree/master/sprites). |
| |
| ## Polymer icons |
| |
| If you wish to use the icon set with Polymer, we recommend consuming them via the [`<iron-icons>`](https://github.com/polymerelements/iron-icons) element ([`<core-icons>`](https://github.com/Polymer/core-icons) in v0.5). |
| |
| ## License |

| We have made these icons available for you to incorporate them into your products under the [Creative Common Attribution 4.0 International License (CC-BY 4.0)](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Feel free to remix and re-share these icons and documentation in your products. |
| We'd love attribution in your app's *about* screen, but it's not required. |
| The only thing we ask is that you not re-sell the icons themselves. |
