About this icon

Use the Wave Direction icon

Icons in the fill style — like Wave Direction — are designed for interface components and product UI. Use it across app menus, breadcrumbs, map interfaces, multi-step forms, pagination controls, and sidebar navigation for a consistent, professional look.

IconStash's editor lets you fine-tune color, size, and stroke width in real time, then export in the format that fits your workflow: SVG, PNG, JSX, or CSS background-mask.

Export formats

Copy clean SVG vectors with one click, generate custom-size PNG files from 16px to 512px, export JSX/React components ready to paste into your project, or use the icon as a CSS background-mask for flexible theming.

All exports are based on the same editable vector — so the Wave Direction icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Carbon is IBM's design system, and Wave Direction reflects its enterprise-first constraints: flat geometry, no gradients, and shapes that survive being shrunk into dense data grids. It is a common choice for regulated, data-heavy products where clarity outranks personality.

UX best practices

For headers, sidebars, footers and breadcrumbs, pair the Wave Direction icon with a text label wherever space allows. Icon-only navigation tests well only for a handful of universally understood actions; comprehension drops sharply once the destination is product-specific. Keep the icon at a fixed optical size so the menu does not appear to shift.

Use in your project

React / npm — Carbon Icons

npm install @carbon/icons-react

import { WaveDirection } from '@carbon/icons-react';

// JSX usage:
<WaveDirection size={24} />

Copy the SVG markup directly from the IconStash editor to use the Wave Direction icon without any npm package — paste it into HTML, JSX, or a design tool.
