About the Masculine Chromosomes black filled icon
The letters X and Y rendered as chromosomes: thick rounded arms with capped ends and short tick marks along one side marking the centromere constriction. The pair states male genetic sex directly, which makes it suitable for genetics and genomics platforms, biology teaching slides, DNA test and ancestry reports, fertility and prenatal screening interfaces, and medical research diagrams.
Both shapes share the same stroke weight and cap radius, so the X and Y read as one matched set rather than plain typography. It pairs with the XX chromosome, DNA helix and cell icons in the library. Keep the two glyphs close together — spacing them too far apart breaks the pair reading.
This is the solid black filled version of the masculine chromosomes 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.
