Bxs Shield

The bxs-shield icon represents a shield, symbolizing protection, security, and defense. The visual design features a stylized shield, evoking a sense of safety and safeguard. This symbol originates from the field of security and protection.

In real-world applications, the shield icon appears in software and platforms related to security, protection, and safety, such as antivirus software, VPNs, and cybersecurity tools. It is often used to represent security and protection features.

From a UX perspective, the shield icon communicates a sense of security and protection, helping users understand that a process or task requires safeguard and defense. It can also be used to indicate a 'secure' or 'protect' action.

Bxs Shield is one of 1,609 icons in BoxIcons, made by Atisa and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 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 BxsShieldIcon to components/icons/bx-bxs-shield.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 BxsShieldIcon 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 Bxs Shield icon, or any of 1,609 BoxIcons 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.

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="Bxs Shield", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. BxsShieldIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BxsShieldIcon 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, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Atisa) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Atisa, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.

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

Its tags are security, safety, shield, defense and protect. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Bxs Shield in another set.
