Hourglass 8

The hourglass8 icon represents a symbol of time and timing, often used to indicate a pause or a wait period. It originated from the traditional hourglass, a device used to measure time. In modern contexts, it signifies a need for patience or a countdown.

In software and digital platforms, the hourglass8 icon is commonly used in applications like Trello, Asana, or Jira to indicate a task is in progress or paused. It's also used in video games to show a loading screen or a wait period.

From a UX perspective, the hourglass8 icon communicates a sense of anticipation or expectation. It informs users that a process is underway, and they need to wait for its completion. This icon helps users understand the status of a task or action.

Hourglass 8 is one of 824 icons in Pico-icon, made by Picon Contributors and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 8 × 8 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 Hourglass8Icon to components/icons/picon-hourglass8.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 Hourglass8Icon 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 Hourglass 8 icon, or any of 824 Pico-icon 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 8 × 8 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="Hourglass 8", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. Hourglass8Icon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <Hourglass8Icon 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. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Open Font License 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 Pico-icon, Picon Contributors and the license.

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

Its tags are UI, organization, management, productivity, time and workflow. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Hourglass 8 in another set.
