Ball Point Pen

The ball-point pen icon represents a common writing instrument used for everyday tasks. The ball-point pen has been a ubiquitous tool for writing and drawing since its invention in the mid-20th century.

In software and technology, ball-point pen icons are often used to represent features such as text editing, note-taking, or creative writing. For example, in a digital note-taking app, a ball-point pen icon might be used to activate a feature that allows users to write and edit notes.

From a UX perspective, the ball-point pen icon communicates a sense of creativity, productivity, and expression. It suggests that the user can create and edit content in a flexible and intuitive way.

Ball Point Pen is one of 200 icons in Icons8 Windows 8 Icons, made by Icons8 and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 26 × 26 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 BallPointPenIcon to components/icons/wpf-ball-point-pen.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 BallPointPenIcon 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 Ball Point Pen icon, or any of 200 Icons8 Windows 8 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 26 × 26 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="Ball Point Pen", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. BallPointPenIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BallPointPenIcon 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. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT 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 Icons8 Windows 8 Icons, Icons8 and the license.

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

Its tags are action, media, edit, office, creative and stationery. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Ball Point Pen in another set.
