About the Live black filled icon

A thin circular frame holds a rectangular badge with the word LIVE inside it, preceded by a small raised dot that stands in for a recording light. It signals an active stream, an on-air broadcast, a real-time feed or a webinar in progress. Use it on video player overlays, event listings, news tickers, social media stories and dashboard status indicators where something is happening right now.

The lettering fills the badge with even spacing, and the outer ring turns the mark into a seal that sits well over thumbnails and video frames. Pair it with play, camera and broadcast tower icons. Text-based marks need room, so use 40 px or larger, and drop the outer circle if you need a wider inline label.

This is the solid black filled version of the live 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.
