About the Play Pause black outline icon
A right-pointing triangle sits beside two tall vertical bars, its tip touching the first bar so play and pause read as one combined control. The pairing stands for toggling playback, starting and holding media. Use it in audio and video players, podcast apps, remote control layouts, presentation software, streaming dashboards and hardware button legends where a single key handles both actions.
Bars and triangle share the same height, and the narrow gap between the two bars keeps the pause half distinct from the play half. The tip-to-bar contact is what makes the pair read as one glyph rather than two icons. It pairs with stop, skip, rewind and record icons; give it even side padding so the wide footprint stays centered in a button.
This is the black outline version of the play pause icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
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.
