Seed icons is an open-source icon set that makes tracking down and using optimized, quality, consistent brand SVG icons a little less painful.
Seed icons are available in a few different capacities:
Library of optimized SVG files for download on seedicons.com.
A consumable Figma component library for use in your designs. To use the components, log in to your Figma account and duplicate the file to your drafts.
This repository that supplies a simplified API for use in your projects. SVGs can also be imported individually through the seed-icons/dist/icons/... folder.

This project is one big mashup and open-source appropriation of projects from Feather, Ionicons, and Eva Icons. I started this project as something to work on while I practice React/Gatsby and inspecting those projects as I learn has been truly invaluable. Anything impressive is probably code from them I didn't change. Anything that barely functions is probably from yours truly. Please consider contributing.
