Summary

This repository serves as the central, official source for all Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) related logos and artwork. It is designed for designers, developers, marketers, and community members who require accurate, up-to-date visual assets for presentations, websites, merchandise, and official communications, ensuring consistent branding across the CNCF ecosystem.

How It Works

The artwork is meticulously prepared in standard formats, primarily PNG and SVG, catering to diverse use cases. For each CNCF project and program, assets are provided in at least three distinct layouts: horizontal (landscape), stacked (near-square), and icon (square, name-less). Furthermore, multiple color versions (color, black, white) are supplied, typically resulting in over 18 variations per logo. SVG is particularly emphasized for its advantages, including smaller file sizes, superior scalability for high-resolution displays and print, and broad compatibility with modern web browsers.

Quick Start & Requirements

No specific installation or runtime environment is necessary. Users can directly access and download artwork from the repository. For immediate use, logos can often be right-clicked and copied from browser previews. For comprehensive guidance on proper asset usage, consult the linked CNCF Style Guide and Brand Guidelines.
