Graduation Cap black outline icon

About the Graduation Cap black outline icon

This icon shows a mortarboard graduation cap drawn from a low angle: a broad flat diamond-shaped board sitting on a rounded skull cap, with a slim tassel hanging from the right edge. It communicates graduation, earned degrees, academic achievement and course completion, making it a fit for university and college websites, e-learning course badges, student dashboards, alumni newsletters and certificate templates.

The board is deliberately wide and shallow, so the cap reads clearly even at small sizes, while the curved lower brim keeps the silhouette soft rather than geometric. It sits well beside diploma, book and school building icons in the same line weight. At 16-20 px, drop the tassel or use the filled style to keep the shape legible.

This is the black outline version of the graduation cap icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.

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.
