Message

The message icon represents a fundamental symbol for communication, specifically for text-based conversations or messages. It's widely used in digital platforms to denote messaging functions, making it easily recognizable across various applications and services. The icon's simplicity and clarity help users quickly identify messaging features.

In real-world applications, the message icon is prominently featured in messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Slack, as well as in email clients such as Gmail and Outlook. It's also used in social media platforms, customer service chatbots, and community forums to facilitate communication.

From a UX perspective, the message icon effectively communicates the availability of communication tools or features, guiding users to engage in conversations or send messages. It helps enhance user interaction and connectivity within digital platforms.

Message is one of 450 icons in Pixel Icon, made by HackerNoon 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 MessageIcon to components/icons/pixel-message.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 MessageIcon 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 Message icon, or any of 450 Pixel 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 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="Message", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. MessageIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <MessageIcon 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 (HackerNoon) 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 HackerNoon, 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.
