Ufo Icon
ufo · Astronomy · 6 styles
Solar Icons draws Ufo as part of its Astronomy collection. It is one of 32 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Ufo lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "ufo", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
What the outline actually encodes is the idea of space, planets, stars and celestial phenomena. That places Ufo in the Astronomy family, which covers space, planets, stars and celestial phenomena and turns up in dark-mode toggles, onboarding illustrations, empty states and rating widgets. Teams building products that lean on a night-sky metaphor for themes and favourites reach for this set first. Use Ufo 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.
Ufo in 6 styles
Ufo is exported 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.

Every export is an isolated constant, so the bundler drops whatever you never mention. Import UFOBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/astronomy" 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 ufo live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

Icons related to Ufo
If Ufo is not quite the shape you want, Ufo2 and Ufo3 share part of its name and often work as substitutes.
Elsewhere in the library
In other corners of the library, Volume Cross, Lightbulb Minimalistic, Video Frame Cut, Kick Scooter, User Hand Up and Incoming Call cover neighbouring ideas; the name "ufo" is 3 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.
Ufo icon FAQ
- How do I use the ufo icon in Angular?
- Import UFOBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/astronomy", register it with provideSolarIcons(UFOBold) and render <solar-icon name="ufo" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Ufo 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 ufo?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Ufo inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
