Scale Icons are not consistent with the ones in the Brand-Design Dokumentation

[telion2]

The svgs used in Scale are not the same as the ones documented in https://www.brand-design.telekom.com/downloads/icons/

This makes it difficult to decide with icons to use, as one version might go obsolete. So I ask that if scale, becomes the root source for any SVG icons, that the documentation provides a possibility to download the icons. Also, it would be nice to have the icon page on the same level as the typography, as this is a page that will be visited often to find the needed Icon. I know it technically is a component, but it is cumbersome to find in the long list of components. I almost overlooked them.

If scale does not become the root source for icons, I ask that scale is using the ones documented in the link I provided, as these are in my view the current official Icons.

An example for an Icon that has 2 versions: Menu Icon: Brand-Design: https://www.brand-design.telekom.com/asset/icon-2081-hamburger-men/

Scale: https://www.brand-design.telekom.com/scale/?path=/docs/components-icon--icon-library

<scale-icon-action-menu accessibility-title="menu" />

Since Scale is still in beta I want to note that any differences to brand-Design will cause additional overhead in applications that have to be compliant with Brand-Design and can't yet introduce scale, due to it being in beta.

Hi @telion2 !

Thanks for your keen eye.

What you are pointing to on B&D is a "communication" icon. Those are documented here: https://www.brand-design.telekom.com/en/articles/i/icons-for-communication/

Scale includes "Icons for user interfaces". Wich you can use straight from Scale: https://www.brand-design.telekom.com/en/articles/i/icons-for-communication/ https://www.brand-design.telekom.com/scale/?path=/docs/components-icon--icon-library

You can also download the UI icons from B&D if needed. https://www.brand-design.telekom.com/asset/icon-for-user-interfaces-0-icons-fr-user-interfaces/

I hope this distinction is helpful in your work. Be assured Scale aligns closely with B&D.

Let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

PS: I'll be forwarding this to the Brand & Design team as well for reference.

Ok so as a developer I can either use: https://www.brand-design.telekom.com/scale/?path=/docs/components-icon--icon-library OR: https://www.brand-design.telekom.com/asset/icon-for-user-interfaces-0-icons-fr-user-interfaces/ And both sources provide the same icon set (I only checked a few).

The source https://www.brand-design.telekom.com/en/articles/i/icons-for-communication/
provides Icons that are used for something else.

Since that is out of the way, the remaining point would be "it would be nice to have the icon page on the same level as the typography,". Is this something you consider doing?
