Lyn

The lyn icon represents a lightning bolt or a sudden burst of energy in a user interface. It is commonly used in Norwegian media and broadcasting contexts. The icon's design often features a stylized lightning bolt symbol.

In software applications, the lyn icon is often used in media and broadcasting platforms to represent a sudden or breaking news event. For instance, in a news website, the lyn icon might be used to indicate a breaking news story.

From a UX perspective, the lyn icon communicates suddenness and importance, helping users understand that they are viewing or interacting with urgent or breaking information. This icon is essential in user interfaces as it provides a clear and concise way to represent a sudden or breaking event, making it easy for users to navigate and understand the current state of the application.

Lyn is one of 241 icons in NRK Core Icons, made by Norsk rikskringkasting and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 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 LynIcon to components/icons/nrk-lyn.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 LynIcon 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 Lyn icon, or any of 241 NRK Core 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.

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="Lyn", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. LynIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <LynIcon 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 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Norsk rikskringkasting) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Norsk rikskringkasting, CC BY 4.0" 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 UI, interface, media, news and broadcasting. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Lyn in another set.
