In general yes. I think they don’t really fit into our general design 
system, so re-usability might be a problem.

I think they are ok in the context of the video but they will stand out 
in other contexts.

Unfortunately this is not something that can be addressed with thicker 
lines, necessarily, as there are different considerations to make icons 
feel cohesive.

I just wanted to note that it’s a different style.
