Sundial

The sundial icon represents an ancient time-keeping device that measures time based on the sun's shadow, often used to symbolize time, measurement, and astronomy. It originates from ancient civilizations, where sundials were used to divide the day into manageable sections. This icon is significant in various domains, including astronomy, navigation, and education.

In software and platforms, the sundial icon appears in educational resources and websites focused on history, science, and astronomy. It's also used in navigation and mapping tools like Google Maps and GPS devices.

From a UX perspective, the sundial icon communicates a sense of tradition, history, and timelessness, helping users understand functionality related to time measurement or astronomical concepts. It can be used to represent concepts like timekeeping, navigation, or scientific inquiry.

Sundial 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 SundialIcon to components/icons/game-icons-sundial.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 SundialIcon 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 Sundial 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="Sundial", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. SundialIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SundialIcon 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 navigation, education, time, science, astronomy and measurement. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Sundial in another set.
