 * So I recently got the arcade basic theme and I think its great.
 * However, the default icon pack leaves a lot to be desired, especially considering
   so many of the icons are trademarked by their respective companies. Is there 
   any way to upload custom svg icons? I’ve managed to use 3rd party plugins to 
   upload them to my wordpress but I can’t find a way to swap them into the default
   icon pack.

 * The theme uses Font Awesome for icons. There is no way to swap icons into it 
   so you would have to rewrite the HTML or PHP to get it working with some new 
   icons, unless you use a plugin that adds the icons for you.
