X-Symbols

SVG symbols for GIS projects

X-Symbols is a ready-to-use SVG symbol library from SEPM — built to help you make maps clearer and more expressive.

What you get

  • SVG symbol sets for GIS projects
  • Gas-oriented and utility-friendly symbols
  • Assets prepared for use in QGIS workflows

Who it is for

GIS analysts, cartographers, and project teams who need clean, reusable symbols without building a library from scratch.

Why X-Symbols

Give your QGIS maps more character.

SEPM X-Symbols brings reusable SVG symbol families to QGIS — from simple shapes and partial fills to arrows, markers and selected utility symbols. Choose the symbols and colours that fit your map.

Explore X-Symbols

  1. 01

    Reusable SVG symbol families

    Related symbols built on shared geometry, ready to reuse across projects.

  2. 02

    Configurable QGIS colours

    Style fill and outline in QGIS — no colour-specific copies to maintain.

  3. 03

    Generic and utility-oriented designs

    From basic geometry and references to charging, cables and manholes.

The collection

Reusable symbols. More expressive QGIS maps.

SEPM X-Symbols is a growing collection of clean, reusable SVG symbol families for QGIS. From basic geometry and partial fills to arrows, flags and selected infrastructure symbols, X-Symbols gives you more options for building a consistent and expressive map style.

Hover or focus a symbol to see its catalogue name.

Symbol families

More than a collection of individual icons

X-Symbols is built around related symbol families. Start with a simple shape and choose the variation that fits your map — outline or filled, single or concentric, partially filled, paired, framed or combined with directional and reference elements.

Instead of redrawing recurring GIS and CAD motifs for every project, you can reuse an existing symbol and adapt its appearance in QGIS.

Built for QGIS styling

One symbol. Your map’s colours.

Many X-Symbols expose QGIS fill and outline colour parameters. This means the same SVG can work with different map palettes without maintaining separate colour-specific files.

xs_shape_circle_stroke_fill

xs_circle_quarter_top_left

xs_pair_circle_filled_outline_framed

xs_battery_charging

Transparent regions stay transparent, while fill and outline can be styled independently where the symbol supports both.

QGIS SVG parameters

Fill colour

#1e9b8a

Outline colour

#1a2b36
<path
  fill="param(fill) #1e9b8a"
  stroke="param(outline) #1a2b36" />

Same file. Only the parameters change.

A growing toolkit

A growing toolkit of symbol families

Three groups cover everyday cartographic needs — and the collection keeps growing.

  • 01

    Shapes & compositions

    Basic shapes, concentric forms, partial fills, paired shapes and flags.

  • 02

    Direction & reference

    Arrows, crosshairs, targets, rings and radial markers.

  • 03

    Utility & infrastructure

    Selected symbols for charging, batteries, cable accessories, manholes, cabinets and other technical map features.

Design specifications

Precise geometry. Predictable in QGIS.

Every symbol follows the same construction rules, so families stay consistent on the map and behave the same way in QGIS.

  • 01

    Canonical SVG geometry

    Each symbol is drawn once as clean vector geometry and shared across the SEPM Core, Generic and thematic libraries.

  • 02

    Fill and outline parameters

    Fill colours the functional accents, outline colours structure and borders. Transparent regions are never painted.

  • 03

    Defined anchor points

    Every symbol has a defined anchor. Directional symbols anchor at the tip, so QGIS rotates them around the insertion point.

  • 04

    Crisp at every size

    Geometry is checked at 24, 32, 48 and 96 px, so symbols stay legible from overview maps to detailed plans.

  • 05

    Consistent naming

    Descriptive, prefixed identifiers such as xs_arrow_curved_left or xs_manhole_round keep libraries easy to search.

  • 06

    SEPM original designs

    Independent mathematical construction by SEPM. Generic cartographic motifs — not a claim of compliance with electrical or utility standards.
