Hi,

There is currently a filter icon that represents funnel. However I would argue that this icon is more suitable for the action - filtering, but not for filters themselves.

An example situation: we have a feed of news. Users are allowed to toggle on and off certain types of news items, but those toggles/filters are hidden by default and one has to press a button "Filters" to show them. Now funnel does not really represent what that button is hiding. What better represents would be something like Font Awesome example below.

Font Awesome "sliders" icon: https://fontawesome.com/icons/sliders?s=solid - this is a much clearer representation of what user can do after clicking a button with this icon. It show possibilities for "tinkering with settings" to receive a wanted result.

Some usage examples:

  • Meta Creator Studio inside Inbox to "Show filters" in search
  • Youtube in search results page for opening Filters

I hope I made it quite clear what I am suggesting :)

I don't know what icon Meta Creator Studio uses, but if you're looking for something like Font Awesome sliders or youtube filter icon, the "options" <ion-icon name="options"></ion-icon> component does look pretty close.

Is that what you had in mind?

Oh wow, what. I swear to God, I was searching for this icon for some time and did not see it.

Suggestion then: add "sliders" and "filters" words to this icon, so that it appears when searching.

Thank you!
