The Docker logo, for the American application development and containerization platform, consists of a brand symbol and a wordmark. The graphic symbol is shaped like the lower half of a whale: the tail is visible on the right, and identical square container blocks are arranged in several rows above it. Next to it is the word docker, set in lowercase sans-serif letters, with large, compact forms and rounded outlines. The main logo includes the symbol and the wordmark, while the symbol itself can be used as a standalone icon. The logo is used in Docker’s brand colors: blue, light blue, dark blue and white. The name Docker comes from the English term for a dockworker and is connected with the theme of containers, ports and software delivery.
Docker, Inc. is an American technology company that develops a platform and tools for application development, containerization, building, delivery and container image management. Docker became widely known after the project was publicly presented by Solomon Hykes at PyCon in 2013 and quickly became one of the key tools in DevOps and cloud development. The platform helps developers package applications and their dependencies into containers so that they work consistently across different environments. Docker’s main products include Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, Docker Engine, Docker Build Cloud, Docker Scout, Docker Hardened Images and other tools for individual developers, teams and companies.
