Bell Icon

bell · Notifications · 6 styles

The Bell icon belongs to the Notifications set of Solar Icons for Angular. It is one of 8 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Bell lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "bell", and every style variant resolves from that single name.

The drawing communicates notifications and alerts. That places Bell in the Notifications family, which covers bells, alerts and muted state and turns up in notification bells, preference toggles, snooze menus and alert banners. Teams building any product with a notification centre reach for this set first. Use Bell 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.

Bell in 6 styles

Bell exists 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.

How to use the bell icon in Angular

You register only the variants you actually render, so nothing unused reaches the bundle. Import BellBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/notifications" 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 bell live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

typescript
import { BellBold, BellBoldDuotone, BellLinear, BellOutline, BellBroken, BellLineDuotone } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/notifications';
typescript
import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { provideSolarIcons } from '@rchernando/solar-icons';
import { BellBold } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/notifications';

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [provideSolarIcons(BellBold)]
};
html
<solar-icon name="bell" iconStyle="bold" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="bell" iconStyle="bold-duotone" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="bell" iconStyle="linear" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="bell" iconStyle="outline" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="bell" iconStyle="broken" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="bell" iconStyle="line-duotone" size="24px" />

If Bell is not quite the shape you want, Bell Bing and Bell Off share part of its name and often work as substitutes.

Elsewhere in the library

Across the rest of the set, Bag Cross, Jar Of Pills, Square Bottom Up, Circle Top Up, Notes and User Id cover neighbouring ideas; the name "bell" is 4 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.

Bell icon FAQ

How do I use the bell icon in Angular?
Import BellBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/notifications", register it with provideSolarIcons(BellBold) and render <solar-icon name="bell" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
Which styles does Bell 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 bell?
Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Bell inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
