The IntelliJ IDEA logo, representing an IDE for professional Java and Kotlin development, consists of the product name and a brand symbol positioned to its left. In the name “IntelliJ”, the letters “I” and “J” are capitalized, while “IDEA” is written entirely in uppercase letters, with the label “JETBRAINS IDE” placed below. The brand symbol is built around a black square containing the white letters “IJ” and a short horizontal white line near the bottom that resembles an underscore. Behind the black square are two large gradient geometric shapes with straight edges and rounded corners, arranged into a single composition and partially overlapping. One combines orange, red, and pink, while the other combines blue, purple, and orange. On a light background, the product name is shown in black, while a version with the name in white is provided for dark backgrounds. In 2015, IntelliJ IDEA, together with other JetBrains products, adopted a unified visual system based on a black square and bright color combinations. The current symbol retains this foundation and is distinguished by the letters “IJ”, which stand for IntelliJ.
IntelliJ IDEA is a professional software development environment from JetBrains s.r.o., a company founded in Prague, Czechia, in 2000. The product grew out of the early IntelliJ Renamer tool, created to automate the renaming of code elements, and the first version of IntelliJ IDEA was released in 2001. Today, JetBrains primarily positions it as an IDE for professional Java and Kotlin development. IntelliJ IDEA provides intelligent code completion and analysis, refactoring, application running and debugging, testing, support for version control systems, databases, frameworks, and other development tools. The product also serves as the foundation of the IntelliJ Platform, on which a range of JetBrains IDEs and third-party products are built.
