Medal Icon Generator

What the medal icon means

Ranked achievement — first, second, third. More specific than a trophy because it implies a placing.

Achievement icons are the visual currency of gamified products, and they follow an implicit hierarchy: a star means quality, a medal means placing, a trophy means winning, a crown means status or a paid tier. Users read that hierarchy without being taught it. All of them are decoration-heavy — handles, ribbons, facets and points — so as brand marks they need the ornament stripped back to the single dominant shape before they work small.

Where you will actually see it

• ranking and placement displays
• sports results
• app icons for competition and gamified products

Drawing the medal at 16 pixels

The neck ribbon plus the disc plus the star inside is three nested elements. Below 24px keep only the disc.

Stroke weight is the control that matters most here. Lucide icons are drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2px stroke, which means that when the icon is scaled down to 16px the stroke is effectively 1.33px — below one device pixel on a standard-density display. Raising the stroke to 2.5 or 3 before exporting keeps the shape solid; lowering it to 1.5 suits large app icons where a heavy stroke looks clumsy. The editor exposes this as a slider, so you can find the value that survives your smallest target size rather than guessing.

Using it in code

If you want the icon in a Vue project rather than as a downloaded asset, it is a named export of the lucide package:

import { Medal } from 'lucide-vue-next'

<Medal :size="24" :stroke-width="2" />

The download button above gives you something different: the icon composed onto a background with a corner radius, exported as a flat SVG path set. The exporter converts the icon out of its <foreignObject> wrapper first, because a foreign object taints an HTML canvas and would otherwise break PNG and ICO rasterisation.
