Castro

The Castro icon represents a prominent American politician and LGBTQ+ rights activist, Castro. The icon likely refers to the Castro brothers, particularly Fidel or Raúl Castro, who played significant roles in Cuban politics.

In real-world applications, the Castro icon appears on educational resources, historical materials, and activist campaigns. For example, users may see the icon on history textbooks, educational websites, or social justice advocacy groups.

From a UX perspective, the Castro icon communicates a sense of social justice, equality, and human rights, helping users understand that Castro was a key figure in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and social justice. The icon's presence on educational materials allows users to quickly identify the topic and navigate to related resources.

Castro is one of 3,632 icons in Simple Icons, made by Simple Icons Collaborators and released under CC0 1.0. 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 CastroIcon to components/icons/simple-icons-castro.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 CastroIcon 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 Castro icon, or any of 3,632 Simple 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="Castro", so screen readers say what it does.

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

CC0 1.0 puts the icons in the public domain: use them anywhere, with no conditions. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No. CC0 1.0 gives the icons to the public domain, so no credit and no notice is required. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI still start with a comment naming Simple Icons, Simple Icons Collaborators and the license.

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