About the Broken Shield Crack black outline icon

A classic pointed shield sits inside a thin circular frame, cut clean across the middle by an irregular wave-shaped crack that separates the upper and lower halves. The gap between the two pieces signals that defenses have failed: a security breach, expired protection, a vulnerability, or an unprotected account. Use it in threat dashboards, antivirus and firewall alerts, insurance lapse notices, and cybersecurity presentations.

The upper half keeps the shield's straight shoulders while the lower half tapers to a point, and the ragged split line runs edge to edge so the break is obvious in a glance. It contrasts well with an intact shield or check-shield icon for before-and-after states. At small sizes the crack reads better in outline than filled.

This is the black outline version of the broken shield crack 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.
