Find a lightweight, but varied Icon Set for your initial buildįor my own Starter Kit Cabana for Figma, I wanted a fairly substantial, but not oversized Icon Set. Other Core Components such as a Buttons, Inputs, Modals etc… are a close second, and I’ll be touching more on these in Part Three. Like I mentioned in Part One, the core elements of a powerful Starter Kit are . A good Starter Kit needs Icons!Įvery good Design Starter Kit needs a great set of Icons right from the get-go!
