Sheep

The sheep icon represents a domesticated mammal commonly found on farms and used for its wool, milk, and meat. Sheep are an important part of agriculture and have been a vital source of food and clothing for humans throughout history. In various cultures, sheep also have symbolic meanings, such as representing innocence or sacrifice.

In software and digital platforms, sheep icons are often used to represent simplicity, innocence, or naivety. For example, in educational apps or games, a sheep icon might be used to signify a beginner or easy level. Sheep icons can also be used in agricultural software or websites to represent livestock management or farming.

From a UX perspective, the sheep icon communicates a sense of harmlessness and approachability. When used in a user interface, it can help users feel more at ease and comfortable with the functionality or feature being represented. The sheep icon can also be used to convey a sense of playfulness or whimsy.

Sheep is one of 799 icons in SmartIcons Glyph, made by SmartIcons and released under CC BY SA 4.0. It is drawn on a 17 × 17 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 SheepIcon to components/icons/si-glyph-sheep.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 SheepIcon 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 Sheep icon, or any of 799 SmartIcons Glyph 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 17 × 17 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="Sheep", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. SheepIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SheepIcon 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.
