Nginx is a web and proxy server, which became popular due to its high scalability and lightweight RSS utilization. The server was created by Igor Sysoev in 2004 and acquired by F5 Networks in 2019. Nginx is the most widely used server across the globe.
The name of the software, Nginx, is derived from “Engine X”. Its text-based visual identity is futuristic and stylish, it looks sharp and masculine.
The Nginx logo is composed of a wordmark and an emblem, which is usually used on its own, but sometimes is placed near the lettering.
The Nginx inscription in all the capital letters is executed in a custom rounded sans-serif typeface with the second “N” of the nameplate mirrored, and the smooth “I” horizontally cut into two almost equal parts.
The letter “G” of the wordmark has six angles, and the software’s emblem repeats the silhouette of the G-hexagon.
The Nginx emblem is a bold green hexagon with a white capital “N” on it, written in the same typeface as the whole wordmark.
The green and white color palette of the Nginx logo is a representation of growth and progress. It is a fresh and optimistic color combination, which shows the innovative approach and young spirit of the company.
