Balloon Icon
balloon · Essentional Ui · 6 styles
Open the Essentional Ui set and Balloon is one of the glyphs you get. It is one of 139 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Balloon lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "balloon", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
The metaphor here is the idea of the primitives every interface needs — add, close, check, menu, info, danger. That places Balloon in the Essentional Ui family, which covers the primitives every interface needs — add, close, check, menu, info, danger and turns up in buttons, dialogs, toasts, form validation and empty states. Teams building literally every application, which is why it is the largest set here reach for this set first. Use Balloon where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.
Balloon in 6 styles
Balloon ships in 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

There is no sprite sheet and no runtime registry lookup over the network. Import BalloonBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/essentional-ui" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for balloon live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

Icons drawn alongside it in Essentional Ui include Danger Triangle, Magic Stick2, Slider Vertical Minimalistic, Check Square, Gift, Perfume, Xxx and Cursor. They share stroke weight and corner radius with Balloon, so mixing them in one toolbar stays consistent.
Elsewhere in the library
Outside this category, Minimize Square Minimalistic, Notification Unread, Pills3, Radial Blur, Rocket2 and Running2 cover neighbouring ideas; the name "balloon" is 7 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.
Balloon icon FAQ
- How do I use the balloon icon in Angular?
- Import BalloonBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/essentional-ui", register it with provideSolarIcons(BalloonBold) and render <solar-icon name="balloon" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Balloon support?
- 6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
- Can I change the size and colour of balloon?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Balloon inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
