About the Open Source Gear Ring black outline icon
A cogwheel frames a ring whose ends break open and sweep down to the lower corners, the familiar open source mark built into machinery. Together they communicate shared code, community-built software and free licensing rather than a single vendor product. Fit it into developer documentation, repository and package listings, license or contribution pages, dev tool menus, hackathon material, and engineering slide decks about open standards.
The gear teeth are drawn as rounded squarish blocks spaced evenly around the circle, and the inner ring is thin enough to keep plenty of white space in the center. It works beside code brackets, terminal and git branch icons. Because the teeth are fine, render it at 32 px or above in dense toolbars.
This is the black outline version of the open source gear ring icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
