About the Open Source Gear black filled icon
A toothed cogwheel is cut open at the bottom, and its interior becomes a ring with two tails flaring outward like an open keyhole. The break in the closed form reads as open source code, shared tooling, transparency and community-built software. Use it on developer documentation, repository and license pages, contributor guides, tech conference slides, or product sections about open standards.
Eight square teeth ring the outer edge while the inner circle sits high and the two tails widen as they descend, giving the mark a balanced top-heavy weight. It pairs with code brackets, fork and terminal icons in the development set. The narrow tails need a stroke bump below 32 px.
This is the solid black filled version of the open source gear icon: a bold silhouette that reads clearly at 16-24 px and on dark or busy backgrounds, and prints well in one colour.
