About the Gear black filled icon
This gear icon shows a cogwheel with eight square teeth spaced evenly around the rim, separated by short curved sections, and a large circular hub opening at the center. The symmetry reads as machinery and control at a glance, which makes it standard for settings and preferences menus, admin toolbars, engineering and manufacturing pages, automation diagrams and service or maintenance sections.
Teeth and rim share one stroke weight, and the wide hub keeps the center open so the shape stays light rather than solid. The eightfold symmetry means it can be rotated in a spin animation for loading states. Pair it with wrench, screwdriver, slider and toggle icons; it holds up down to 16 px.
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.
