Graduate Student black filled icon

About the Graduate Student black filled icon

This icon shows the head and shoulders of a graduate: a round face framed by a wide mortarboard cap with a short tassel hanging from the right edge, above a broad arc forming the gown and shoulders. No facial features are drawn, so it reads as a neutral avatar. It signals graduation, academic achievement and student status, and fits university websites, admissions and enrollment forms, e-learning profiles, alumni directories and scholarship presentations.

Composition is symmetrical and centered: the flat diamond of the cap sits on a circular head, and the shoulder curve anchors the base of the frame. Proportions keep the cap dominant so the meaning survives at avatar size. It pairs with diploma, book, school and teacher icons in the library. Use at 32 px or larger so the tassel stays visible.

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

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.
