Candle Skull

The candle-skull icon represents a symbolic combination of a candle and a skull, often used to convey a sense of mortality or warning. It symbolizes the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of death. The use of skulls as symbols dates back to ancient cultures, where they were often used to represent death, danger, or the supernatural.

In software and platforms, the candle-skull icon may appear in design or lifestyle-related applications, such as graphic design tools, icon collections, or websites focused on symbolism. For example, it could be used in a graphic design app to represent a feature for creating symbolic icons or in a website that provides information on symbolism and iconography.

From a UX perspective, the candle-skull icon communicates a sense of warning, mortality, or playfulness. It can help users understand that a particular feature or function is related to symbolism, iconography, or design. For instance, a graphic design app might use the candle-skull icon to represent a feature for creating custom icons or a section for design inspiration.

Candle Skull 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 CandleSkullIcon to components/icons/game-icons-candle-skull.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 CandleSkullIcon 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 Candle Skull 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="Candle Skull", so screen readers say what it does.

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