[OSM-talk] Improved new Icon set for Open Street map

[nebulon42]

Hi,

the icons of osm-carto have been refreshed since December 2014. I'm not 
sure if you have noticed that a lot of icons of the Standard map style 
have changed (improved in my view) since that time. Me and others have 
already invested tons of hours into re-designing icons, reducing 
complexity and updating the visual style.

However, there is of course always the possibility to improve things 
further. I'm welcoming contributions at https://github.com/gmgeo/osmic, 
which is a repository that holds all icons I have done for the Standard 
map style (some I have also adapted from Maki and other free sources). 
You can also directly contribute to osm-carto at 
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto.
