About the Moral Balance Scale black filled icon

A two-pan balance on a slim center post tips to one side, with a plus sign in the lowered pan and a minus sign in the raised one. Weighing good against bad makes it a clear stand-in for morals, ethics and judgment calls. Use it in code-of-conduct pages, compliance and governance training, pros-and-cons comparisons, philosophy or law course material and decision-support tools.

The beam is angled rather than level, which adds tension and keeps the icon from reading as a generic justice scale, and the pans are simple half-circles. It pairs with handshake, gavel and shield icons in an ethics set. Keep the plus and minus legible by avoiding sizes under 28px.

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