About the Code Optimization black filled icon

A toothed gear sits at the center with a slash-and-angle-brackets code mark in a small circle on its face, wrapped by two arrows curving in opposite directions to form a broken loop. Together they read as tuning, refactoring and continuous improvement of software. Use it on developer tool landing pages, CI/CD and DevOps dashboards, performance audit reports, API documentation and engineering slide decks.

Roughly square in balance, the arrows leave deliberate gaps at the upper right and lower left so the gear teeth stay visible. It works alongside bug, server, terminal and speedometer icons in a development set. Give it generous padding, since the arrowheads sit close to the outer edge.

This is the solid black filled version of the code optimization 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.
