Vanguard

The vanguard icon represents security and protection. The icon features a path design that suggests a shield or defensive mechanism. The visual design implies a strong sense of safety and defense. The origin of this symbol is likely from security-related contexts.

In real-world applications, this icon may appear in software or platforms related to cybersecurity, risk management, or threat mitigation. For example, it could be used in a security app to indicate protection status.

From a UX perspective, the vanguard icon communicates a sense of security and protection. It helps users understand that the associated feature or button is related to safeguarding data or systems. The icon's design allows users to quickly recognize the purpose of the feature and navigate accordingly.

Vanguard is one of 1,491 icons in Custom Brand Icons, made by Emanuele & rchiileea and released under CC BY-NC-SA 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 VanguardIcon to components/icons/cbi-vanguard.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 VanguardIcon 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 Vanguard icon, or any of 1,491 Custom Brand 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.

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

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

No, not commercially: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 allows only non-commercial use, with credit to the author (Emanuele & rchiileea), and icons you change must use the same license. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 asks you to credit Emanuele & rchiileea, and it allows non-commercial use only.

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

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