Social Icon
Use Social Icon to add linked social or brand icons, with optional text labels and official or custom colors.
How It Works In Atomicatβ
The drawer manages a list of icon items. Each item can be reordered, cloned, deleted, and edited. You can choose an icon from the library, enter a link, enable new-tab behavior, enable text and add a social name, and choose icon type: official color or custom icon. Custom icon mode exposes icon color and background color controls.
When To Use Itβ
- Link to social profiles in a header, footer, bio section, or proof area.
- Show a row of brand channels without building individual icon blocks.
- Add text labels when icons alone may be unclear.
- Use official colors for recognizable networks or custom colors for brand consistency.
Configure The Elementβ
- Add one item per social destination.
- Select the correct library icon and enter the destination URL.
- Enable new tab for external social links.
- Enable text when visitors need a label beside the icon.
- Use custom color only when official colors conflict with the page design.
Testing Notesβ
- Click each icon on the published page.
- Check spacing and tap targets on mobile.
- Verify official colors still meet contrast needs on the chosen background.
Limitations And Tipsβ
- Social Icon is for outbound links, not a sharing widget with platform APIs.
- Do not use unlabeled icons if the audience may not recognize the brand.
- Too many social links can distract from the primary CTA.
