About the Copyright black outline icon
A thin, evenly weighted circle encloses a heavy open letter C with a wide gap at its right side, forming the standard copyright mark. It signals ownership of a work, licensing terms and protected intellectual property at a glance. Use it in website footers, terms and license pages, stock media galleries, publishing and print credit lines, and legal or compliance presentation slides.
The outer ring is drawn much lighter than the letterform, so the C reads first and the circle acts as a frame rather than competing with it. It sits alongside trademark, registered mark, patent and shield protection icons in the library. At small footer sizes, give it a little extra spacing so the ring does not close up.
This is the black outline version of the copyright icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
