About the Graduate Student Mortarboard black filled icon

This icon shows a head-and-shoulders bust of a student wearing a square mortarboard cap, with a short tassel dangling from the right corner. The blank face and simple shoulders keep it neutral, so it reads as any graduate. It suits university admission pages, online course platforms, alumni directories, student profile avatars, scholarship forms and commencement event announcements or certificates.

The composition is symmetrical: a wide flat cap board sits above a rounded head, and a broad shoulder arch fills the lower half so the silhouette stays legible when scaled down. It pairs naturally with diploma, book, school building and graduation cap icons. Keep it at 32px or larger so the tassel stays visible.

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