Startup black outline icon

About the Startup black outline icon

A chess knight stands on a wide stepped base, its horse head turned to the left with a carved mane, and a lightning bolt sits inside a jagged starburst on the body of the piece. Together they read as a bold strategic move powered by energy, the classic language of a new venture. Use it on startup landing pages, pitch decks, accelerator and incubator sites, business strategy articles and product roadmap slides.

The heavy knight silhouette carries the weight at the bottom while the spiked burst pulls attention to the center, giving the mark a clear focal point. It works beside rocket, target and lightbulb marks in a business set. The burst outline is fine, so keep the icon at 32 px or larger in decks.

This is the black outline version of the startup 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.
