Jstor Square

The JSTOR square icon provides a compact, contained variant of the journal archive symbol optimized for grid layouts and social media contexts. This squared version maintains the recognizable JSTOR branding while fitting seamlessly into structured interface designs requiring uniform icon dimensions across academic research platforms.

In library resource portals and institutional repositories, the square variant appears in database lists alongside other squared platform icons creating visual consistency. Research management tools display this icon in saved resource collections, while learning management systems use it in reading list modules where multiple database icons need uniform sizing for professional presentation.

From a visual design perspective, the square format communicates more than just branding adaptation - it specifically signals integration within structured layouts, compatibility with grid-based navigation systems, and the standardization of academic resource representations. This formatting distinction helps designers maintain visual hierarchy while preserving brand recognition across diverse academic interfaces.

Jstor Square is one of 158 icons in Academicons, made by James Walsh and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 448 × 512 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds JstorSquareIcon to components/icons/academicons-jstor-square.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed JstorSquareIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Jstor Square icon, or any of 158 Academicons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 448 × 512 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Jstor Square", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. JstorSquareIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <JstorSquareIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Open Font License only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Academicons, James Walsh and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are database, library, archive and square. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Jstor Square in another set.
