##<iron-icon>
The `iron-icon` element displays an icon. By default an icon renders as a 24px square.
Example using src:
```html
```
Example setting size to 32px x 32px:
```html
```
The iron elements include several sets of icons.
To use the default set of icons, import `iron-icons.html` and use the `icon` attribute to specify an icon:
```html
```
To use a different built-in set of icons, import the specific `iron-icons/-icons.html`, and
specify the icon as `:`. For example, to use a communication icon, you would
use:
```html
```
You can also create custom icon sets of bitmap or SVG icons.
Example of using an icon named `cherry` from a custom iconset with the ID `fruit`:
```html
```
See [iron-iconset](iron-iconset) and [iron-iconset-svg](iron-iconset-svg) for more information about
how to create a custom iconset.
See the [iron-icons demo](iron-icons?view=demo:demo/index.html) to see the icons available
in the various iconsets.
To load a subset of icons from one of the default `iron-icons` sets, you can
use the [poly-icon](https://poly-icon.appspot.com/) tool. It allows you
to select individual icons, and creates an iconset from them that you can
use directly in your elements.
