About the Cuneiform black outline icon
A rectangular tablet is split by a vertical rule into two panels: six small forked wedges on the left and six narrow triangular wedges on the right, arranged in tidy rows. The layout mimics the earliest wedge-pressed script, so it stands for ancient writing, record keeping and archaeology. Use it on museum exhibit pages, history and archaeology courses, language timelines, encyclopedia entries and cultural heritage presentations.
The strict grid of repeated marks is what sells the reading, so it needs breathing room: the tablet sits inside a round frame with generous margins. Pair it with scroll, hieroglyph and stone tablet icons, and set it at 48 px or larger so the individual wedges do not blur together.
This is the black outline version of the cuneiform 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.
