I found these nice icon sets by American designer Ben Barry, done whilst he was on an internship for Newhouse Design. They're for American Airlines travel maps, and he's created a great couple of sets of icons representing the landmarks for major tourist cities (shown above are Paris and London, obviously). It's impressive how he has managed to distill such complicated buildings and structures into easily recognisable marks, viewable at small and large scales and in one colour.
His portfolio is definitely worth a look, his work is incredible (both in volume and quality) and he's also only recently graduated! According to his website he's currently working for Facebook's design team, which is unsurprising considering how impressive his stuff is.
