About the Compass black outline icon
A pocket compass drawn as concentric rings with a small pivot dot at the center, a curved needle sweeping around to a triangular arrowhead, and a ring loop with a lug on top for attaching it to a lanyard. Enclosed in a circular badge frame, it stands for orientation, exploring and finding direction, suiting map screens, travel booking sites, hiking and outdoor apps, onboarding tours and scouting badges.
The design is fully radial: three nested circles plus a needle that reads as a rotating arrow rather than a fixed north pointer, which makes it feel like active searching. It pairs with map, pin, binoculars and backpack icons. The inner pivot dot is tiny, so use 32 px or larger, or pick a color style for hero use.
This is the black outline version of the compass 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.
