Buoy

The buoy icon represents a floating device used for navigation and safety in the sea or ocean. It originates from the maritime and navigation context, where buoys are used to mark channels and hazards. The icon signifies guidance and warning.

In real-world applications, the buoy icon may appear in maritime software, navigation apps, or websites related to sailing and boating. For example, it could be used in a navigation app to indicate a safe route or in a website to highlight a warning.

From a UX perspective, the buoy icon communicates a sense of caution and guidance. It helps users understand potential hazards and navigate through unfamiliar territories. The icon's presence can also provide a sense of reassurance and safety.

Buoy 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 BuoyIcon to components/icons/game-icons-buoy.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 BuoyIcon 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 Buoy 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="Buoy", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. BuoyIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BuoyIcon 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.
