Atom color outline icon
Atom with three crossing elliptical orbits around a small circular nucleus
About the Atom color outline icon
Three overlapping elliptical orbit paths cross around a small circular nucleus at the center, drawing the classic planetary model of an atom. The shape communicates science, chemistry, physics, research and experimentation at a glance. Use it for laboratory and education apps, science course thumbnails, R&D sections on product sites, chemistry worksheets, university department pages and slides about innovation or materials testing.
The three orbits are spaced at even angles so the negative space stays open, and the nucleus ring sits exactly at the crossing point for balance. It pairs naturally with molecule, microscope, flask and DNA icons in the library. Render at 32 px or larger so the curves stay visually separated.
This is the colour outline version of the atom icon: the same line drawing in an accent colour, useful for highlighting a state, a category or a brand tone without adding visual weight.
It downloads free as an SVG vector or transparent PNG in seven sizes, and the free online editor lets you recolor it, apply gold, silver, neon and gradient styles, add animation, or convert it to EPS, PDF and DXF.
