About the Drawing Compass black outline icon

An upright drafting compass stands with a circular pivot head topped by a small knob, two slightly splayed legs tapering to fine points, and a horizontal adjustment bar joining them at a round hinge. It signals drawing, precision, measurement and technical planning, making it a fit for design software toolbars, architecture and engineering sites, geometry lesson materials, blueprint galleries and creative agency pages.

The symmetry of the two legs around the central axis and the double-ring head give the shape a sturdy, instrument-like feel, and the hinge bar adds a horizontal break that stops it reading as a plain letter A. It pairs with ruler, set square and pencil icons for a drafting set. Use at 32 px so the leg tips stay sharp.

This is the black outline version of the drawing 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.
