# Menu Icons

WordPress 3.8 has [Dashicons](https://developer.wordpress.org/resource/dashicons/), an icon font you can use with your custom post types.

To set the post type icon pass the dashicon icon slug to the `icon()` method.

```php
$books->icon( 'dashicons-book-alt' );
```
A list of available icons can be found on the [WordPress codex](https://developer.wordpress.org/resource/dashicons/)
