About the Barbed Wire black filled 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 solid black filled version of the barbed wire icon: a bold silhouette that reads clearly at 16-24 px and on dark or busy backgrounds, and prints well in one colour.
