Where and how can I use it?

SVG format

It’s a lightweight vector format (in kilobytes) that’s ideal for use on websites, in mobile apps, and for print. Thanks to its scalability to any size without loss of quality, it can be scaled from the size of an icon to a banner on a building. The file is easily editable in popular graphics editors such as Figma, Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and others, and opens in Photoshop without any issues.

PNG format

It’s a raster format with support for transparent backgrounds, making it ideal for use on websites, web graphics, in presentations, documents, and social media. PNG preserves high image quality at its original size, but may lose sharpness and become blurred when enlarged. The file easily opens and is used in popular editors such as Photoshop, GIMP, Canva, Figma, and most standard image viewers.

The GitHub logo for the code hosting and collaboration platform consists of a graphic mark and a wordmark. The mark is a circle with the cut-out silhouette of GitHub’s mascot, Octocat: a profile with a large oval head, small ears, and a curved tail; this pictogram is called Invertocat. Next to it, the name GitHub is written as one word without spaces, with capital “G” and “H”, set in a sans-serif typeface. The logo is used in black, white, and green; the Invertocat mark has only been refined in small details over time, while the GitHub wordmark has been updated several times. The name GitHub comes from Git (a version control system) and the word hub.

GitHub, Inc. is a service where developers and teams store Git repositories, track change history, and build projects together through pull requests and code review, issues, discussions, wikis, and automation for checks and builds. The platform launched in 2008 and was created by Tom Preston-Werner, Chris Wanstrath, P. J. Hyett, and Scott Chacon; in 2018 GitHub was acquired by Microsoft and operates as its subsidiary. GitHub is used by more than 150 million developers, and the platform hosts hundreds of millions of repositories; it is widely used for both open-source projects and enterprise development.

The world’s first automatic electric kettle

Before 1955, you had to watch the boiling water yourself — look away for a second, and it would spill over. Russell Hobbs solved this problem by releasing the K1 — the world’s first electric kettle with automatic shut-off. The new product quickly conquered British kitchens and then the entire world. What seemed like a simple innovation became a true household revolution and marked the beginning of the smart appliance era no one had even dreamed of.

Coca-Cola is the most recognizable logo in the world

The Coca-Cola logo is often called the most recognizable in the world. Research by Nielsen, Interbrand and YouGov shows that people across the globe instantly recognize the signature Spencerian lettering. This visual style has been used since the late 19th century, and over the decades it has become part of global culture: the brand is present in more than 200 countries, and its logo is considered one of the key icons of world marketing.

The Nike logo only cost $35

The Nike logo — the famous “Swoosh” — was designed in 1971 by design student Carolyn Davidson. She received only $35 for her work. Co-founder Phil Knight admitted that he didn’t particularly like the logo, but that he would “get used to it over time.” Later, when Nike became a successful brand, Carolyn received a gold ring with the logo and company shares in gratitude, which made her a millionaire.

Mercedes-Benz: a drawing from a postcard

Gottlieb Daimler drew a three-pointed star on a postcard for his wife, writing that it would one day shine over every engine and factory he built. After his death, his sons turned this symbol into a logo. The three points represent the company’s ambition to succeed on land, sea, and air. A four-pointed version was also patented, but the three-pointed one was chosen for its stronger visual impact. Since then, the core of the logo has remained unchanged.

Interesting fact about the Apple logo

The first Apple logo, depicting Newton under an apple tree, was created in 1976 by company co-founder Ronald Wayne. However, in 1977, the now-famous bitten apple logo appeared, designed by graphic designer Rob Janoff. Rob received about $500 for his work — and no royalties, even though the logo became one of the most recognizable in the world.
