Of course, we have many different ways of solving this problem. Some of the most common include pre-existing third-party icon libraries (such as Font Awesome), icons bundled into a third-party component library (like the Kendo UI Icons), or a completely custom set of icons designed and maintained by your design team. Obviously, going 100% custom will require more work (on both the design and dev side), but might be worth it to achieve a truly unique look – or if the UI will require icons for uncommon symbols or concepts.
