Griffin Shield

The Griffin Shield icon represents a mythological creature known as a griffin, which is a hybrid of a lion and an eagle, often associated with protection and defense. In various mythologies and cultures, the griffin is depicted as a powerful and majestic creature that guards treasure and valuable possessions. The shield symbolizes the griffin's defensive capabilities, making it a potent emblem for safeguarding assets or territories.

In real-world applications, the Griffin Shield icon can be used in software or platforms related to security, finance, or fantasy games. For instance, it could appear in a video game that features mythological creatures, in a financial application that offers secure transactions, or in a fantasy-themed website that requires user authentication.

From a UX perspective, the Griffin Shield icon communicates a sense of safety and security, which can help users feel more confident when interacting with an interface. It can also serve as a visual cue for defensive or protective actions, such as blocking an attack or securing a resource.

Griffin Shield 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 GriffinShieldIcon to components/icons/game-icons-griffin-shield.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 GriffinShieldIcon 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 Griffin Shield 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="Griffin Shield", so screen readers say what it does.

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