Should we replace Lucide Icons with IconFlowLabs?

Not necessarily. Lucide can cover standard interface needs, while IconFlowLabs can be evaluated for custom concepts or a different brand direction.

Is this relevant for product teams with engineering constraints?

Yes. Compare the available formats, implementation conventions, and any preparation engineering requires for generated and library icons.

What is the best evaluation method?

Pilot one feature module and score both options on brand fit, implementation effort, and time to approved asset delivery.

When does a fixed icon set become limiting?

A fixed set may not cover a custom domain metaphor or a different visual direction. In those cases, compare contribution, manual design, and generation workflows.

Can we migrate gradually from Lucide Icons?

Yes. Migrate by priority: replace high-visibility product areas first, validate consistency, then expand to the rest of the library.
