Icons and Material Design

Material Design icons are simple,

modern, friendly, and sometimes
quirky. Each icon is reduced to its
minimal form. The designs ensure
readability and clarity even at small
sizes.

Use these icons to create specific

User and Device Cards or Service
Cards while maintaining a
consistent visual look.

Material icons can be searched and

downloaded directly from
