Source artwork and implementation
A globe suggests a website, language choice, or international availability. Its meaning is ambiguous if several of these features coexist.
Use it in an interface
Name the action: “Choose language” and “Visit website” are different. A globe often avoids tying an entire language to one national flag.
The ri:globe-fill source has 1 SVG path element and a 24 × 24 coordinate system. Its source does not declare a stroke attribute in the drawing markup; do not assume adding a stroke will preserve its appearance. The preview preserves the source proportions.
Embed the original SVG as an image
This example reserves a 24-pixel box. It uses an empty alternative because visible text must convey the meaning alongside a decorative icon. For an informative standalone image, replace the empty alternative with a useful description.
<img src="/icon-file.php?prefix=ri&name=globe-fill" width="24" height="24" alt="">An SVG loaded through an image element does not inherit the surrounding page’s CSS color. To recolor it, export a customized version or use a reviewed inline SVG. Compare inline SVG and image coloring.
Check before shipping
- Preview Globe Fill at the actual display size, especially if your output differs from its 24 × 24 source grid.
- Give interactive controls an action label rather than relying on the file name.
- Retain the Apache 2.0 license notices required by the original source terms.
