The Oracle logo consists of the brand name rendered in a light red color using a proprietary sans-serif font. All letters are uppercase, geometrically precise, with distinctive cut-off horizontal strokes, and the letter “O” is horizontally elongated. This “O” is also used separately as a graphic icon — either in light red on a white background or in white on a square light red background. The current form of the logo was adopted in 1995 and has remained virtually unchanged since then, preserving recognition and visual continuity.
Oracle was founded in 1977 by Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, and Ed Oates under the name Software Development Laboratories. The idea for the company emerged after Ellison read a research paper on relational database architecture published by IBM researchers. Inspired by the concept, the founders began developing their own DBMS, which later became known as Oracle Database. In the early 1980s, the company was renamed Oracle after its core product. Today, Oracle is one of the world’s largest providers of business software and cloud solutions. Its core areas include databases, enterprise applications, infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). Oracle products are used by millions of organizations worldwide, including large corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions.
