Broken Cog black filled icon

About the Broken Cog black filled icon

A toothed gear wheel with a large hollow center is interrupted at the upper right, where the rim and several teeth break away along a jagged edge and leave a gap in the ring. The damage is the focus, so it communicates failure, downtime and needed repair. Use it for error and system fault states, maintenance dashboards, service booking pages, warranty or repair shop sites and reliability slides.

The break sits off-center, which keeps the silhouette recognizable as a gear while the missing section stays obvious even at small scale. Line weight matches the intact gear, wrench and screwdriver icons, so a working and broken pair can sit side by side. Below 32 px the crack blurs, so use it larger in status UI.

This is the solid black filled version of the broken cog icon: a bold silhouette that reads clearly at 16-24 px and on dark or busy backgrounds, and prints well in one colour.
