Tails

The tails icon represents Tails, a Linux distribution focused on security, privacy, and anonymity. The visual design features a combination of lines and curves, suggesting a secure and private environment. This symbol originates from the Tails logo.

In real-world applications, the tails icon appears in Tails-related projects, tutorials, and documentation.

From a UX perspective, the tails icon communicates a sense of security and anonymity, helping users understand that the operating system provides a secure and private way to access the internet.

Tails 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 TailsIcon to components/icons/cib-tails.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 TailsIcon 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 Tails 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="Tails", so screen readers say what it does.

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

1 other library draws an icon called Tails. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are security, privacy, linux, distribution and anonymity. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Tails in another set.
