Logo Java consists of a stylized image of a cup with a saucer and rising steam. The cup and saucer are made of curved lines in turquoise, while the steam above the cup is depicted as two dynamic orange lines. The word “Java” is placed next to the image, in turquoise, using a custom sans-serif font with emphasis on the capital letter “J”. This logo is used in its full-color version on official resources and remains current to this day. Its structure has remained largely unchanged since the late 1990s, despite minor tweaks in details.
Java is a high-level programming language developed by Sun Microsystems and introduced to the public in 1995. The creation of Java was led by James Gosling as part of the Green project. Initially, the language was called Oak, but it was later renamed Java, in reference to a type of coffee and the island of Java. The main feature of Java is its cross-platform nature: code written in Java can run on any system with the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed. After Sun Microsystems was acquired by Oracle in 2010, Java continued to evolve as an open technology (through the OpenJDK project) and gained widespread adoption, from mobile and web applications to banking systems, server solutions, and cloud infrastructure.
