Sunken Eye

The sunken-eye icon represents a stylized eye with a sunken or shadowy appearance, often used to symbolize mystery, intrigue, or darkness. It originates from the realm of fiction and thriller stories, where sunken eyes are often associated with characters who are mysterious or menacing. This icon is significant in various domains, including entertainment, literature, and graphic design.

In software and platforms, the sunken-eye icon appears in thriller and horror games, as well as in mystery and detective-themed apps and websites. It's also used in graphic design and digital art to create a sense of drama or tension.

From a UX perspective, the sunken-eye icon communicates a sense of mystery, danger, or uncertainty, helping users understand functionality related to thriller or horror-themed interfaces. It can be used to represent concepts like mystery, suspense, or eeriness.

Sunken Eye 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 SunkenEyeIcon to components/icons/game-icons-sunken-eye.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 SunkenEyeIcon 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 Sunken Eye 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="Sunken Eye", so screen readers say what it does.

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