Docker Logo PNG
The Docker company was started in France in 2010, but the Docker software was released as open source only in March 2013. In its official blog, the company states that the original logotype was “put together quickly”, so they decided to upgrade the logo and visual style shortly after.
Meaning and history
2013 – 2015
The current Docker logo was introduced in June 2013. With the help of the freelancer community 99designs the company received 84 logo prototypes. The winner was the whale emblem created by Ricky Asamanis, a graphic designer from Indonesia.
The whale carrying a stack of containers symbolizes the company’s four core values: expedition, automation, encapsulation, and simplification.
2015 – 2017
In 2015, they simply moved the wordmark from beneath the emblem to its right, and that’s all.
2017 – Today
The word for the 2017 emblem is minimalism. They basically turned the emblem into a shape of a whale with several squares piled up on it – all colored a deep blue color. The wordmark also adopted this color, although the letters were also marginally changed in some places.
