About the Barbed Wire black outline icon
A single strand of barbed wire runs horizontally across the frame with a twisted barb cluster at its center: two parallel wires, three coiled loops wrapped around them and four sharp points fanning out diagonally above and below. It stands for restricted access, borders and confinement, working well in security pages, prison or conflict coverage, fencing supplier sites and map legends.
The composition is left-right symmetrical and the spikes are drawn as elongated pointed bars, giving the center enough visual mass to read at small sizes while the wires stay thin. It tiles cleanly as a repeating divider strip and pairs with fence, lock and gate icons.
This is the black outline version of the barbed wire icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
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.
