Hi everyone,  
I’m playing with Ionic v2 and just noticed that some icons does not work as expected in ionTab components.  
Here is my code:

```
<ion-tabs>
  <ion-tab [root]="tab1Root" tabTitle="Tweets" tabIcon="water"></ion-tab>
  <ion-tab [root]="tab2Root" tabTitle="Angular" tabIcon="angular"></ion-tab>
  <ion-tab [root]="tab3Root" tabTitle="React" tabIcon="nodejs"></ion-tab>
</ion-tabs>

```

The first icon called ‘water’ is well displayed on the screen (I’m running my app in chrome) but none of the others…  
What I’m doing wrong?  
Thanx

There is differences with available Ionicons in v1 vs v2, make sure you only using icons from the v2 set here:

[http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/resources/ionicons/](http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/resources/ionicons/)

It does look like `angular` and `nodejs` icons are available, but strangely they are missing the iOS-outline and Material Design versions.

Thanks for your reply.  
I’m using v2 set icons.  
Maybe we have to wait a little!
