New Message

The new-message icon represents a new message or conversation. It symbolizes the action of sending or composing a new message. This icon is commonly used in messaging apps, such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, to represent the composition of a new message.

In software applications, the new-message icon appears in tools like email clients, such as Gmail and Outlook, to represent the composition of a new email. It is also used in customer support platforms, such as Zendesk and Freshdesk, to represent the creation of a new support ticket.

From a UX perspective, the new-message icon communicates the idea of creating a new message or conversation, making it easier for users to understand the functionality of the icon. It helps users navigate interfaces and perform actions related to messaging or communication.

New Message is one of 321 icons in Entypo+, made by Daniel Bruce and released under CC BY-SA 4.0. It is drawn on a 20 × 20 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 NewMessageIcon to components/icons/entypo-new-message.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 NewMessageIcon 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 New Message icon, or any of 321 Entypo+ 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 20 × 20 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="New Message", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. NewMessageIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <NewMessageIcon 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 conditions: CC BY-SA 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Daniel Bruce), and icons you change must use the same license. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY-SA 4.0 asks you to credit Daniel Bruce, and icons you change must be shared under the same license.

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

Its tags are communication, message, chat, conversation and talk. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for New Message in another set.
