About the Hourglass black filled icon
A traditional sand timer drawn as two curved bulbs meeting at a pinched waist, capped top and bottom by wide flat plates, with a short inner arc suggesting sand sliding down the lower chamber. It stands for elapsed time, patience, waiting and approaching deadlines. Fits loading and processing states, project management timelines, booking windows, limited-offer banners and productivity apps.
The profile is strictly symmetrical about the vertical axis, and the heavy end caps give it a stable base while the thin waist draws the eye to the center. The single interior curve is the only detail, which keeps the form clean. Pairs with clock, calendar and stopwatch icons; at 16px consider dropping that inner arc so the waist stays open.
This is the solid black filled version of the hourglass 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.
