Confluence Logo PNG
Confluence is a digital workspace, a corporate wiki that businesses utilize for such tasks as sharing project updates and meeting notes, for instance. The web-based app is developed by Atlassian, a software company headquartered in Sydney, Australia. The language used for the app is Java, and it is delivered with a built-in Tomcat web server and a default hsql database.
Meaning and History
When back in 2001 Scott Farquhar received an email from his University of New South Wales classmate Mike Cannon-Brookes, nobody knew that was the beginning of the Atlassian Corporation. And yet, it was these two people who eventually became Australia’s first technology billionaires. The 1.0 version of Confluence was published on 25 March 2004. The newer versions of Confluence tend to make the app part of a closely integrated environment formed by other Atlassian products, from Bamboo and Clover to Crucible and Fisheye.
What is Confluence?
Confluence is a web-based collaboration tool created in 2004 by Australian software company Atlassian, which is also known as the developer behind such platforms as Jira, Hipchat, Trello, and Loom, to name just a few.
2004 – present
The logo clearly and unambiguously shows that Confluence is an Atlassian product. Everything, from the color choice to the shapes, emphasizes this connection.
The most recognizable part of the design is the emblem. It consists of two elements that almost touch each other. This structure makes it similar to the Atlassian logo. Yet, in contrast to the parent company logo, the two parts of the Confluence emblem have an identical shape.
Font and Color
The vibrant, electric blue color dominating the emblem has the hex code of #1D7AFC. As there is a gradient structure, there are several shades combined. Yet, all of them share this eye-catching quality.
While the icon color is identical to that of the parent company logo, the typeface used in the Confluence logo is dramatically different. It’s lighter, thinner. This effect may, in part, be owing to the fact that the logo of Atlassian features uppercase glyphs, while that of Confluence only has the first letter in uppercase. The type is a rather soft, rounded one, but isn’t as recognizable as that from the parent company logo with its iconic “A’s.”
