About the Gear black filled icon

This gear shows a single cogwheel drawn as a wide ring of evenly spaced square teeth around a large hollow hub, leaving the center open so it reads clearly at small sizes. It communicates settings, mechanics, configuration, maintenance and engineering work. Use it for a settings entry in app navigation, an admin or preferences panel, a manufacturing service page, engineering slide decks, or a toolbar control for options.

The outline is built from a bold outer tooth ring and a concentric inner circle of similar stroke weight, giving balanced negative space and a symmetrical silhouette. It pairs naturally with wrench, screwdriver, cog cluster and toggle switch icons. At 16-20 px the open hub can close up visually, so prefer 24 px or larger in toolbars.

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