Ancient Screw

The ancient-screw icon represents an old, worn-out screw, often associated with ancient machinery or relics found in game environments. This icon is part of the Game Icons library, specifically under the Thematic category.

In real-world applications, this icon can be used in game development software like Unity or Unreal Engine to represent ancient or abandoned structures. It can also appear in historical or fantasy-themed video games, such as Assassin's Creed or The Elder Scrolls.

From a UX perspective, the ancient-screw icon communicates a sense of age and decay, helping users understand that they are interacting with an old or abandoned object. This can be useful in game interfaces where players need to navigate through ancient ruins or abandoned areas.

Ancient Screw is one of 4,123 icons in Game Icons, made by GameIcons and released under CC BY 3.0. 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 AncientScrewIcon to components/icons/game-icons-ancient-screw.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 AncientScrewIcon 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 Ancient Screw icon, or any of 4,123 Game Icons 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="Ancient Screw", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. AncientScrewIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <AncientScrewIcon 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 3.0 asks you to credit the author (GameIcons) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 3.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by GameIcons, CC BY 3.0" on an about or credits page.

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

Its tags are game, gaming, symbols, thematic and mechanical. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Ancient Screw in another set.
