What the Virus icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The virus icon represents a virus or a viral particle, commonly used in software applications to represent a medical or biological context. A virus is a type of infectious agent that replicates inside the cells of an organism. In software applications, the virus icon may be used to represent a medical or biological context, such as a health app or a scientific research platform. For example, a health app might use the virus icon to represent a viral infection or a disease.
In software applications, the virus icon may be used in various contexts to represent medical or biological functionality. For example, a health app might use the virus icon to represent a viral infection or a disease. A scientific research platform might use the virus icon to represent a viral sample or a biological experiment.
From a UX perspective, the virus icon communicates a sense of danger or risk, conveying that the user is interacting with a potentially infectious or hazardous substance. The icon may also evoke a sense of caution or warning, suggesting that the user needs to take precautions or take action to prevent infection.
Virus is one of 1,407 icons in Font Awesome 6 Solid, made by Dave Gandy and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 512 × 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 VirusIcon to components/icons/fa6-solid-virus.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 VirusIcon 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 Virus icon, or any of 1,407 Font Awesome 6 Solid 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 512 × 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="Virus", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. VirusIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <VirusIcon 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.
