Big Gear

The big-gear icon represents a large mechanical gear, often used in industrial and engineering contexts to symbolize machinery and mechanical systems. Gears are crucial components in machines, enabling the transmission of rotational motion and torque. The big gear icon is commonly associated with mechanical engineering, manufacturing, and industrial automation.

In software and digital platforms, the gear icon is often used to represent settings or configuration options. For example, in user interface (UI) design, a gear icon might appear in a menu or toolbar to allow users to access and modify settings related to the application or system. In industrial software, such as computer-aided design (CAD) programs or engineering simulation tools, the gear icon might represent a specific tool or function related to mechanical design or analysis.

From a user experience (UX) perspective, the gear icon communicates a sense of customization and control. When users interact with a gear icon, they expect to be able to modify settings or configurations to suit their needs. The icon's presence can also imply a level of technical complexity, as it often relates to advanced or specialized features.

Big Gear 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 BigGearIcon to components/icons/game-icons-big-gear.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 BigGearIcon 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 Big Gear 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="Big Gear", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. BigGearIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BigGearIcon 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 device, engineering, industrial, mechanical and machinery. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Big Gear in another set.
