Squares Ring Icon

Q: When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for full page, chart or canvas loading states, where a bold spinner fills a large empty slot; and splash screens and import or sync panels that wait on a job with no known end. For a small spinner inside a button, input or table row while it waits, use the Loading icon. For a queued state that waits for a set time, like a cooldown or a scheduled run, use the Hourglass icon.

Animated

Six rounded squares spaced evenly in a ring, for loading spinners, progress states and busy indicators. Available in 4 styles (outline, solid, duotone and filled) with an animated variant, as a React component you install with the shadcn CLI.

Squares Ring icon FAQ

What does this icon show?

Six rounded squares spaced evenly in a ring, for loading spinners, progress states and busy indicators. Typical uses: loading spinner on a submit button, busy state in a data table and progress indicator in a file upload.

When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for:

Full page, chart or canvas loading states, where a bold spinner fills a large empty slot
Splash screens and import or sync panels that wait on a job with no known end

For a small spinner inside a button, input or table row while it waits, use the Loading icon. For a queued state that waits for a set time, like a cooldown or a scheduled run, use the Hourglass icon.

Which styles does it come in?

4 styles: Outline, Solid, Duotone and Filled. Every style is drawn on the same 24 by 24 grid and installs as its own file, so you can switch styles without touching the layout. An animated variant also plays a short animation on hover, or whenever your code starts it.

How do I install it with the shadcn CLI?

Copy the install command from the panel above, in the style you want, and run it in your project. The shadcn CLI adds the icon as a React component that you import and render like any other. It draws in the current text color, so your text color and size classes style it. Icon installs need a ReUI Ultimate license.

What icons go well with it?

Icons from the same family and the Shapes set: Squares Stairs, Circle Ring, Arcs Radiate, Circle Diamond, Circle Pinwheel and Circle Swirl.

When was it added, and what was it called before?

It joined the ReUI icon library on June 30, 2026. It was previously named abstract-12, and that install name still resolves to this icon.
