You can use the icons module to set up some featured links on your page, as above.
You can also use icons as a featured element or a separator between sections of your page. So for example, we might have a section of the page that's about music...
... and then we can drop the 'music' icon in using the 'icons' module, which not only serves as a nice visual element but it also creates a visual aid for longer pages if people are skimming rather than reading your content.
To create this effect, we used a 'text and images' module, followed by an 'icons' module, followed by a second 'text and images' module.
