About this design
A circle is hard to draw by hand at 16 pixels, so this one was calculated: the outer ring, the S-shaped divide made from two half-circles, and the two dots each sit on exact geometry before being rounded to the grid. The result is as symmetrical as a 16 × 16 grid allows.
How to use it
Use it as a patch, a bead coaster or a minimalist cross stitch. Swap black and white for two colours of your own in the editor, such as teal and coral, for a modern take on the symbol.
Size and bead counts
The picture fills 172 of the 256 squares in its grid, within an area 14 squares wide and 14 tall; the rest stay empty. It uses 2 colours: black 110 (#111111), white 62 (#FFFFFF). Made with 5 mm fuse beads it measures about 7.0 × 7.0 cm and fits on one standard 29 × 29 pegboard. Stitched on 14-count Aida it is about 2.5 × 2.5 cm, or 3.2 × 3.2 cm on 11-count, so add a few centimetres of fabric on every side for the hoop.
Colour plan
#111111 does the most work, 64% of the 172 pixels, followed by #FFFFFF at 36%. Every colour is used at least 62 times, so there are no tiny one-off details to hunt for. 33% of the grid is left empty.
Working notes
It is 16 × 16 pixels; at 8× scale it becomes 128 × 128. The busiest row changes colour 6 times.
