Idea

The idea icon represents a thought or concept, commonly used in digital interfaces to denote creativity, innovation, and inspiration. This icon is significant in the context of creative thinking and problem-solving.

In software applications, the idea icon appears in platforms like mind mapping tools, brainstorming software, and creative writing apps.

From a UX perspective, the idea icon communicates the idea of generating new concepts or thinking creatively. It helps users understand the context and purpose of creative activities.

Idea is one of 234 icons in Icons8 Windows 10 Icons, made by Icons8 and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 32 × 32 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 IdeaIcon to components/icons/icons8-idea.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 IdeaIcon 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 Idea icon, or any of 234 Icons8 Windows 10 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 32 × 32 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="Idea", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. IdeaIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <IdeaIcon 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. MIT 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: MIT 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 Icons8 Windows 10 Icons, Icons8 and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
