To my knowledge there is no icon pack for cities in NA below a certain size. So I created one! An icon for every city in NA with >100k population. 544 in total. Generated with Nano Banana Pro. These cost me ~$70 to generate. Giving away for free! Some exceptions are 1 city for each US state that didn't have a city above 100k population such as Burlington Vermont. I also took liberties with what icon was used such as Whale Tales for BTV. Surprisingly, smaller cities have many competing landmarks and it can be hard to choose! Feel free to contribute corrections.

Could you build this?
Yes This is a static icon collection with a browsable gallery, generated with an image model. The main cost is image generation, and the website is simple, so a solo builder can produce it quickly.
Discussion

Concerns raised: Icons look like AI slop, Inconsistent city selection, e.g. Burlington VT included but Nashua omitted, Metro areas not accounted for, e.g. Olympia missing, Some icons are off, e.g. Atlanta as phoenix, Dallas cowboy hat, Many cities lack an iconic symbol
Feature requests: Output SVG instead of PNG, Crowdsourced handcrafted icon set, Set minimum input font size to 16px
