About the North black filled icon
A sharp chevron-shaped needle points straight up inside a ring that breaks open at the top to make room for a bold letter N. The pairing of arrow and letter reads as map orientation at a glance, which suits navigation and GPS apps, interactive map controls, architectural site plans, real estate floor plan sheets, and geography or survey presentations.
The needle is split down the center into two facets so it reads as a solid three-dimensional pointer, and the thin open ring frames it without competing. It pairs with compass rose, map pin, route and coordinate icons. Anchor it to the top-right corner of a map canvas at 24 to 32px, the usual home for a north indicator.
This is the solid black filled version of the north 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.
