Docker
Docker is a platform for building, shipping, and running applications in lightweight, portable containers.

Docker’s mark is “Moby Dock” — a whale carrying stacked shipping containers on its back, a visual pun on the project’s core metaphor of packaging and shipping. Solomon Hykes and the dotCloud team introduced it with the original 2013 open-source release; the logo has been simplified twice since (most notably in 2017) but the whale has stayed.
The brand blue (#2496ED) is Docker Inc.’s identity color; for monochrome contexts the whale silhouette alone is widely recognized. On dark surfaces the logo benefits from a ~1px light outline or a subtle drop shadow, since the lower portion of the whale is flat blue and can disappear against dark navy.
When to use this logo
Reach for the Docker logo in infrastructure diagrams, CI/CD pipeline explainers, Kubernetes/Docker comparison content, and developer-environment setup guides. For diagrams showing container orchestration, pair with Kubernetes to the right — reading left-to-right as “build with Docker, orchestrate with Kubernetes” matches how most teams describe their stack.
