Shield black filled icon
Outline of a crest shield with a scalloped top edge, pointed base and inner border line
About the Shield black filled icon
The design is a heraldic crest shield: the top edge dips into a central scallop between two raised shoulders, the sides curve inward and meet in a sharp point at the base, and a second contour traces the whole form as an inner border. It signals protection, verified safety and defense. Use it for antivirus dashboards, privacy settings, insurance pages, trust badges at checkout and team or club emblems.
The double outline creates an empty inner field that is ideal for overlaying a check mark, lock or exclamation glyph when you need state variants. Proportions are slightly taller than wide, balancing well next to lock, key and fingerprint icons. Keep the inner border at the same stroke weight so the shield does not look hollow at small sizes.
This is the solid black filled version of the shield 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.
