Creative Commons Zero

The Creative Commons Zero icon represents a license that allows creators to waive their copyright and related rights to a work. This license is used to indicate that a work can be used freely without permission. The Creative Commons organization provides free licenses and tools that help creators share their work with others.

The Creative Commons Zero icon is often used by creators who want to make their work available for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. It is commonly used in academic, artistic, and cultural contexts where sharing and collaboration are valued. For example, Wikipedia uses Creative Commons licenses for many of its images and content.

From a UX perspective, the Creative Commons Zero icon communicates that a work can be used freely and without restrictions. It helps users understand that they have permission to use and modify the work without needing to seek additional permission.

Creative Commons Zero is one of 460 icons in Font Awesome 5 Brands, made by Dave Gandy and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 496 × 512 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 CreativeCommonsZeroIcon to components/icons/fa-brands-creative-commons-zero.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 CreativeCommonsZeroIcon 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 Creative Commons Zero icon, or any of 460 Font Awesome 5 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 496 × 512 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="Creative Commons Zero", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. CreativeCommonsZeroIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <CreativeCommonsZeroIcon 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 (Dave Gandy) 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 Dave Gandy, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.

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