About the Failure black outline icon
A toothed gear sits inside a thin circular frame, and at its hub a broken ring encloses an exclamation mark, so the mechanism itself is reporting a fault. It communicates breakdown, system error and required maintenance rather than a generic warning. Use it on status dashboards, DevOps incident pages, industrial HMI screens, equipment service portals and troubleshooting documentation.
The gear's teeth are evenly spaced around the hub and the exclamation is centered, so the icon stays balanced when rotated or animated. It pairs with success, warning-triangle and wrench icons for a full status set. Reserve 32 px or more so the teeth and the small exclamation both survive rasterization.
This is the black outline version of the failure icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
