Answer 1

I followed the answer delivered by Claudios and had to do an additional change. I am using MDL and for the icon to be centered in a button it was necessary to change position left property (default is left:50%).

CSS:

.material-icons.md-36 { 
font-size: 36px; 
position: absolute;
left: 40%;
}

And in HTML:

face
