Icon purge?

[annez]

We currently have quite a few unused icons in our repository. Would be good to purge ones we do not use.

Main reasons:

• SVGs are 327kb non-gzipped
• they are the biggest file being served on uSwitch, before the fonts.

If we come up with a better solution on doing the icons, then we should go with that.

I Agree with this, just probably need people to go through their verticals and make sure we don't need any of these.
From your list, I know in mobiles we need:

• android
• apple
• windows
• blackberry

I defend that stuff should only be in uStyle if it's shared, so if it's only used within mobiles, I'm very happy to cater for them myself

@ricardomccerqueira Can you clarify that those are internal icons you are using are you are indeed using the ustyle icons?

[ricardomccerqueira]

mobiles-web is using a separate version of those Icons:
https://github.com/uswitch/mobiles-web/blob/master/app/assets/stylesheets/components/_svg-icons.sass#L70

Feel free to delete them from uStyle if you want.

@annez We don't use any of the icons that you mentioned in your second comment. We do use --smiley instead of --happy however.
