Game Consoles Icon Pack

Last Updated on July 21, 2026 by Editorial Team

A free pack of SVG icons that contains 18 video game consoles and joysticks: Atari 7800 (1984), Nintendo Enternaiment System (NES – 1983), Super Nintendo Enternaiment System (SNES – 1990), Nintendo 64 (1996), Dreamcast (1998), Xbox (2011), PlayStation 1 (1994), PlayStation 4 (2013), Nintendo Game Boy (1989).

Created and released by Jonatan Castro. I hope you enjoy it!

What makes this game consoles icon pack so useful is the consistency of the linework. Every controller, handheld, and joystick is drawn with the same medium-weight outline stroke, rounded corners, and minimal internal detail, so a Nintendo 64 pad and a Dreamcast controller sit comfortably next to each other even though the real hardware looks nothing alike.

That kind of visual discipline is what separates a usable icon set from a random pile of clip art. Nothing here is filled or shaded, there are no gradients or drop shadows, just clean geometric shapes reduced to their most recognizable features: the trigger bumps on a Nintendo 64 pad, the screen and D-pad of a Game Boy, the rounded thumbstick nub of a Dreamcast controller.

The nostalgia angle is obvious and intentional. This is a set built for retro gaming content, and it reads instantly to anyone who grew up with a cartridge slot.

That makes it a strong fit for gaming blogs, YouTube channel graphics, Twitch overlays, retro gaming shops, secondhand console resale sites, and any project that wants to reference specific console generations rather than a generic “gamepad” symbol.

Because the icons are drawn as thin outlines rather than solid glyphs, they also work well for more editorial or documentation-style layouts: comparison charts of console specs, timelines of gaming history, or infographics tracking generations of hardware side by side.

Getting the Most Out of the Console Set

Since the pack covers specific, named consoles rather than abstract gaming symbols, it pairs naturally with timeline layouts.

You could lay the icons out chronologically, from the NES through the PS4, and let the shape of each controller do the storytelling instead of relying on labels alone.

If you’re building a review site or a “best retro consoles” listicle, the icons also work as visual anchors next to each entry, giving readers an instant shape to scan for even before they read the console name.

Editing is straightforward in any vector-capable editor. Since these are outline icons, recoloring is just a matter of changing the stroke color, and because the stroke weight is consistent across the whole set, resizing one icon to match a layout won’t throw off the visual balance of the rest.

A few practical notes worth keeping in mind as you work with them:

• Keep the stroke weight untouched if you’re mixing icons from this set with icons from elsewhere, since mismatched line thickness is the fastest way to make a set look inconsistent.
• Because the shapes are fairly detailed at small sizes, like the multiple buttons on the Dreamcast or PS4 controllers, test them at your actual display size before finalizing a layout, especially for favicons or small UI badges.
• The flat outline style takes color changes well, so a single accent color applied across the whole set can quickly match a brand palette without redrawing anything.

Pairing these with a monospace or pixel-style typeface tends to reinforce the retro tech feel, while a cleaner sans-serif keeps the overall look more modern if you want the nostalgia to come through in the icons alone rather than the whole page.
