Icons guide

Size

Warning:

⚠️ 10p, 28p, 32p, 40p, 48p and 60p are deprecated in SWAN v3.3
Replace 10p with 16p. Replace larger sizes with standard, or consider if an illustration would be more suitable.

Use size to specify a size for icons. The standard size for icons is standard, which aligns with the body-standard font skin. The standard icon size is responsive and compact mode compatible. Icons can also be set to the static sizes 16p, 20p, and 24p.

White

Use white for Icons placed on a dark background to increase their visibility. Note: The preferred way to display a white icon is to place an icon with the standard skin within a dark mode container.

Custom icons

Use Icon to create a custom icon that can follow SWAN's standard size variations. Pass the image URL into src.

Accessibility

When used inside a Button without text you must include an accessible label via one of the methods listed below.

  • Use alt with a descriptive value on the Icon.
  • Use aria-label with a descriptive value on the Button.
  • Use aria-labelledby if the Button has nearby descriptive text. Set the value of the attribute to the ID of the element containing the description text.
  • Use a visually hidden inner span with descriptive text.

If the icon is purely decorative, use aria-hidden="true" to hide it from assistive technologies

This text must be localized.
