Octagon

The octagon icon represents eight-sided geometric shapes, stop indicators, and octagonal containers in design systems and interface applications. Featuring an outlined octagon shape, this icon is commonly used to indicate stop actions, warning containers, octagonal badges, and geometric shape selections in UI frameworks, design tools, and informational displays.

In modern applications like traffic and safety interfaces, design systems requiring stop indicators, or badge components in GitHub's security alerts, you'll see this octagon icon representing warning states and stop actions. It appears in validation systems when showing critical errors, in notification badges when highlighting important alerts, or in shape selection tools when choosing geometric container types.

From a visual communication perspective, the octagon shape communicates more than just 'eight-sided polygon' - it specifically indicates stop or warning contexts due to its universal association with stop signs, critical alert containers, and the visual pattern of using octagons for high-priority information. This shape psychology helps users immediately recognize important or blocking information.

Octagon is one of 458 icons in Akar Icons, made by Arturo Wibawa and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds OctagonIcon to components/icons/akar-icons-octagon.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 OctagonIcon 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 Octagon icon, or any of 458 Akar Icons 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 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Octagon is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

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="Octagon", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. OctagonIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <OctagonIcon 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. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT 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 Akar Icons, Arturo Wibawa and the license.

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