Icons

Hello, everyone. I have a question and would like to hear from an expert.
I'm currently working on designing icons that I'll be submitting to Adobe Stock for the first time. Regarding the final product, should the icons be designed with outlines (lines) whose thickness can be adjusted, or with vector outlines using the “Convert Outlines to Vector Lines” option?
I’d like to thank everyone who helps answer this question. 
Thank you.

    Icons and Icon Sets are some of the most over-represented inventory in Adobe Stock. Are you sure you really want to compete with this much inventory?

    https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=icon 195 million results

    Also see:  social icon, 3d icon, icon set, business icons, technology icon

     

    Your biggest challenge will be finding unique subjects that Stock doesn’t already have in its database. Otherwise, you risk refusal for submitting “similar content.”  See below for more details.
