Broken Shield black filled icon

About the Broken Shield black filled icon

A shield outline is split from top to bottom by a jagged, lightning-shaped break, leaving two halves pulled slightly apart inside a thin circle. It communicates compromised protection, a failed defense or an active threat. Use it for security breach alerts, antivirus warnings, vulnerability dashboards, insurance claim flows and error states in access control screens.

The crack widens toward the center, so the damage stays visible even when the badge is scaled down. Pair it with an intact shield, padlock and warning triangle to show before-and-after states. In color styles, a red accent pushes it clearly into alert territory.

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

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.
