> Summary: Icon reference for Neon docs components, covering two systems: TechCards (colorful technology logos, kebab-case names) and DetailIconCards (monochrome feature icons). Use this page to find the exact icon name and correct component when authoring cards. TechCards uses kebab-case. DetailIconCards accepts camelCase or kebab-case. Also covers SVG file locations.

## Icon system overview

Neon documentation uses multiple icon systems for different components. Understanding which system to use is crucial for proper implementation.

### Available icon systems

1. **TechCards Icons** - Colorful technology logos and framework icons
2. **DetailIconCards Icons** - Monochrome feature and service icons
3. **DocsList Icons** - Simple navigation and action icons

### Component compatibility

| Component           | Icon System           | Use Case                       |
| ------------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| **TechCards**       | TechCards Icons       | Technology/framework showcases |
| **DetailIconCards** | DetailIconCards Icons | Feature/service showcases      |
| **DocsList**        | Built-in themes       | Documentation links            |

### Usage example

```mdx
<DetailIconCards>
  <a
    href="/docs/ai/openai"
    title="OpenAI integration"
    description="Build AI features with OpenAI"
    icon="openai"
  >
    OpenAI Integration
  </a>
  <a
    href="/docs/ai/langchain"
    title="LangChain integration"
    description="Create AI workflows with LangChain"
    icon="langchain"
  >
    LangChain Integration
  </a>
</DetailIconCards>
```

_For technical implementation details, see the [Icon Systems section](/guides/community-component-architecture#icon-systems) in the Component Architecture guide._

## Icon usage guidelines

### Choosing the right icon system

- **TechCards**: Use for technology and framework showcases
- **DetailIconCards**: Use for feature and service showcases
- **DocsList**: Use built-in themes for documentation links

### Icon naming conventions

- **TechCards**: Use kebab-case (for example, `node-js`, `next-js`)
- **DetailIconCards**: Use camelCase or kebab-case as defined in the mapping
- **File Requirements**: Ensure SVG files exist in the correct directories

### Best practices

1. **Test your icons**: Always verify that your chosen icon works in the target component
2. **Check both systems**: If an icon doesn't work in one system, try the other
3. **Use descriptive names**: Choose icon names that clearly represent the technology or feature
4. **Document your choices**: Keep track of which icons work in which components
5. **Fallback gracefully**: Provide alternative text or descriptions when icons aren't available

### Component selection guide

| Use Case            | Component       | Icon System           | Example                |
| ------------------- | --------------- | --------------------- | ---------------------- |
| Technology showcase | TechCards       | TechCards Icons       | Node.js, React, Python |
| Feature showcase    | DetailIconCards | DetailIconCards Icons | OpenAI, AWS, Database  |
| Documentation links | DocsList        | Built-in themes       | Guides, API docs       |
| Simple navigation   | DocsList        | Built-in themes       | Related topics         |

***

## Troubleshooting

### Common issues

1. **Icon not displaying**: Check that the icon name exists in the correct system
2. **Wrong icon system**: Verify you're using the right component for your icon
3. **Missing files**: Ensure SVG files exist in the correct directories
4. **Case sensitivity**: Icon names are case-sensitive

### Testing icons

To test if an icon works:

1. **TechCards**: Check if `{icon}.svg` exists in `/public/images/technology-logos/`
2. **DetailIconCards**: Check if the icon is mapped in the component code
3. **DocsList**: Use the built-in themes (default, docs, repo)

### Getting help

- Review the [Component Architecture](/guides/community-component-architecture) for technical details
- Test icons in a development environment before using in production
