About the Failure black filled 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 solid black filled version of the failure icon: a bold silhouette that reads clearly at 16-24 px and on dark or busy backgrounds, and prints well in one colour.
