title: Displaying post format icon next to the title in recent posts
body: <p>I am creating a theme from scratch, and it's going quite well so far, but I've been wondering if there is a way to display the post format (e.g. standard post, audio, video, image etc.) icon next to a post title when displaying the list of recent posts? </p>
  
  <p>I would like the readers to know right away what kind of post they are about to read / listen to / see..</p>
  
  <p>I know it's possible to format whole posts based on their format, but couldn't find anything regarding the links to them in a widget. I'm thinking it should be possible—if you can get the titles, why couldn't you get the formats and their icons as well? </p>
  
  <p>There definitely IS a way to do it .. somehow, because it's exactly what <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/recent-posts-video-icon" rel="nofollow">this plugin</a> does. However, it does it only for one post format, but how to add icons for all of them?</p>
