Yale

The Yale icon represents Yale University, a prestigious private Ivy League research university. Yale is known for its academic excellence, research opportunities, and rich history.

The Yale icon appears in various software and platforms related to education, universities, and academic institutions. It is often used as a symbol for academic excellence and research.

From a UX perspective, the Yale icon communicates the idea of academic excellence and intellectual pursuits. It helps users understand the functionality of a platform or tool and navigate through interfaces related to education and research.

Yale 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 YaleIcon to components/icons/simple-icons-yale.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 YaleIcon 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 Yale 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="Yale", so screen readers say what it does.

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

Its tags are education, research, academic, university and institution. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Yale in another set.
