First, find an icon you like, set a background color to the section, then set the icon as background overlay
Verify that you have SVG uploads enabled in your elementor settings here :
You can find great icons at www.iconfinder.com, and many other websites. With icon finder it is easy to filter by license, if you are looking for free icons.
Then, simply add the icon as a background overlay, and adjust the settings
Set a background color for the Background Overlay option to show up.
Adjust everything for mobile and tablet view also!
Finally, if you want to rotate the icon and change it's color, use this website

How to animate an icon goes beyond the scope of this article; let me know if you are interested though.
