Bug report

Bunq app:
Screenshot_20190525_202901

Top is Schengen zone entrance. Bottom is Schengen zone exit. The logout icon looks the same as the Schengen zone entrance icon. Hopefully this will prove that the icon used in the Bunq app to logout is incorrect.
Latest git version.

The problem is that there is no official logout icon for material icons* so I ended up using something similar at the time. Looks like a simple but useful thing to implement though so I'll replace it sometime 👍

I can confirm it's still the same icon, on the dashboard and settings page. The material UI icon is called "exit to app" and even is an alias for "logout" when you search for it. Source: https://material-ui.com/components/material-icons/

Maybe using the old-fashioned lock icons could be an alternative as I couldn't find those Schengen-like icons anywhere in the Material Icons set. Lock icons set:

Looking at an alternative, Font Awesome 5 (Free) does provide dedicated login/logout icons: https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&q=sign%20in

I'm wondering if it would be better for this project to start using an icon set that does have all the icons available, rather than keep looking for the second-best option all the time. Some icons indeed are confusing and I'm afraid it's due to the limited amount of Material icons available.
