Shield Minus

The shield-minus icon represents a shield with a minus sign, symbolizing protection with a reduction or removal. The shield is a visual representation of security and safety, often originating from heraldry and coats of arms. The minus sign indicates a decrease or elimination of something.

In software and platforms, this icon may appear in security settings, access control, or data protection features. For example, it could be used in Figma or Notion to represent a decrease in access or permissions.

From a UX perspective, the shield-minus icon communicates a sense of protection with a reduction. It helps users understand that a specific feature or setting is being limited or removed to ensure safety.

Shield Minus is one of 665 icons in BoxIcons Solid, 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 ShieldMinusIcon to components/icons/bxs-shield-minus.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 ShieldMinusIcon 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 Shield Minus icon, or any of 665 BoxIcons Solid 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="Shield Minus", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ShieldMinusIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ShieldMinusIcon 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.
