Hound

The hound icon represents a breed of dog, often symbolizing loyalty, companionship, or a hunting instinct in various contexts, including gaming and digital communication. It is commonly used to express friendship or to represent a pet. The hound icon is a popular symbol in many cultures, representing loyalty and affection.

The hound icon appears in various software and platforms, including pet care websites, animal shelters, and online gaming communities. For instance, it is used in gaming platforms to represent companions or allies. In digital design, the hound icon is used to create visually appealing and engaging interfaces.

From a UX perspective, the hound icon communicates a sense of loyalty and companionship, helping users understand the tone and intent behind a message or interaction. It can also be used to provide visual feedback, such as confirming a user's action or indicating a successful transaction.

Hound 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 HoundIcon to components/icons/game-icons-hound.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 HoundIcon 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 Hound 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="Hound", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. HoundIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <HoundIcon 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 icon, gaming, animal, thematic, pet and dog. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Hound in another set.
