FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Shield icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The shield icon represents protection, security, or safety, often used in software applications to indicate defensive or safeguarding features. This icon is widely recognized in digital interfaces and is commonly used to suggest a secure or protected environment. Its design typically includes elements that suggest defense or protection.
In software applications, the shield icon appears in security software, such as antivirus or firewall applications, as well as in platforms that require secure authentication or authorization. It is used to indicate secure connections, protected data, or safeguarded systems. The icon's presence signifies the availability of defensive features.
From a UX perspective, the shield icon effectively communicates the availability of protective features. Its design helps users understand that their data or systems are secure, making it easier for them to trust the application or platform. The icon often follows platform-specific guidelines to ensure consistency.
Shield is one of 637 icons in Grommet Icons, made by Grommet and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds ShieldIcon to components/icons/grommet-icons-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 ShieldIcon 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 Shield icon, or any of 637 Grommet 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 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.
Shield is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.
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="Shield", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. ShieldIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ShieldIcon 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. Apache 2.0 allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
No visible credit is required: Apache 2.0 only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Grommet Icons, Grommet and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
