-Example using icon from default iconset:
+The core elements include several sets of icons. 
+To use the default set of icons, import  `core-icons.html` and use the `icon` attribute to specify an icon:
+
+    &lt;!-- import default iconset and core-icon --&gt;
+    <link rel="import" href="/components/core-icons/core-icons.html">
 
     <core-icon icon="menu"></core-icon>
+    
+To use a different built-in set of icons, import  `core-icons/<iconset>-icons.html`, and
+specify the icon as `<iconset>:<icon>`. For example:
+
+    &lt;!-- import communication iconset and core-icon --&gt;
+    <link rel="import" href="/components/core-icons/communication-icons.html">
+
+    <core-icon icon="communication:email"></core-icon>
+    
+You can also create custom icon sets of bitmap or SVG icons.
