you mean vector?
here is quick vector example for testing (.ai and .svg)
info@2x.zip
info@2x.png

once icons size is changed to square, further testing will be easier, eg
- add border to all icons
- adjust lines, sizes, etc

I was going to post a new thread, but this is closely related so I'll add my comment here instead.

It would be nice to make the ratings icons more visible, both on the thumbnails and the full screen view. In full screen view, the histogram overlaps the rating:

Hint - It's behind the blue histogram. :D

Maybe put a contrasting background behind the star?

Thanks.

Variant "A" is OK. I think it's more readable than "B".

Single letters are more readable when the size is small.
The complete "IPTC, XMP, etc" are better when the icons are large, otherwise they are difficult to read.
