PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is a powerful, open-source object-relational database system known for reliability, extensibility, and SQL compliance.

The PostgreSQL mark is an elephant head — colloquially “Slonik” (Russian for “little elephant”) — a nod to the elephant’s long memory as a metaphor for a database that never forgets. It replaced a series of earlier marks in 2008 and has been the project’s identity ever since, carried through every major release from 8.4 up through the current 17.x line with its JSON path improvements and logical replication upgrades.
The brand blues (#336791 primary, #008BB9 secondary highlight) are the working defaults; on dark backgrounds a thin outline keeps the elephant silhouette readable below 32px. The PostgreSQL Trademark Policy permits editorial and non-endorsement use — fine for stack diagrams and architecture posts.
When to use this logo
Use PostgreSQL in architecture diagrams, data-stack illustrations, migration guides (“moving from MySQL to Postgres”), and comparison pages with MongoDB or SQLite. For ORM content (Prisma, Drizzle, TypeORM) it’s a common pairing — stack the elephant left of the ORM mark at equal visual weight.
