Stack Overflow

The stack-overflow icon represents Stack Overflow, a Q&A website for programmers and developers. Stack Overflow allows users to ask and answer programming-related questions.

In software applications and websites, the stack-overflow icon may be used to link to Stack Overflow or to integrate Stack Overflow functionality. Users can access programming resources and community features.

From a UX perspective, the stack-overflow icon communicates a clear connection to programming Q&A resources and community engagement. It helps users to quickly identify and access Stack Overflow's services.

Stack Overflow is one of 649 icons in Font Awesome 4, made by Dave Gandy and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 1536 × 1792 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 StackOverflowIcon to components/icons/fa-stack-overflow.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 StackOverflowIcon 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 Stack Overflow icon, or any of 649 Font Awesome 4 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 1536 × 1792 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="Stack Overflow", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. StackOverflowIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <StackOverflowIcon 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. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Open Font License only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Font Awesome 4, Dave Gandy and the license.

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

8 other libraries draw an icon called Stack Overflow. 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 development, software, programming, engineering and QA. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Stack Overflow in another set.
