Genius

The genius icon represents a lightbulb, often used to symbolize ideas, inspiration, or creativity. The visual design features a stylized lightbulb shape with curves and lines, indicating illumination. This symbol originates from the common metaphor of a lightbulb moment, representing a sudden insight or idea.

In real-world applications, the genius icon appears in software and platforms related to creativity, innovation, or brainstorming, such as MindMeister, Coggle, or Canva. It is often used to represent idea generation or creative thinking features.

From a UX perspective, the genius icon communicates a sense of innovation and creativity, helping users understand that a feature or tool is related to idea generation or problem-solving. It can be used to navigate to features related to brainstorming or creative thinking.

Genius is one of 830 icons in CoreUI Brands, made by creativeLabs Łukasz Holeczek and released under CC0 1.0. It is drawn on a 32 × 32 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 GeniusIcon to components/icons/cib-genius.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 GeniusIcon 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 Genius icon, or any of 830 CoreUI Brands 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 32 × 32 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="Genius", so screen readers say what it does.

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

CC0 1.0 puts the icons in the public domain: use them anywhere, with no conditions. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No. CC0 1.0 gives the icons to the public domain, so no credit and no notice is required. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI still start with a comment naming CoreUI Brands, creativeLabs Łukasz Holeczek and the license.

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