React
React is a declarative JavaScript library by Meta for building composable user interfaces with a component-based architecture.

The React logo is the familiar atom-like mark: three overlapping ellipses orbiting a central nucleus. The shape nods to the original name “FaxJS” never caught on, and the atom came in as a metaphor for composition — small, reactive particles combining into larger systems. Meta (then Facebook) first released React internally in 2011 and open-sourced it at JSConf US 2013.
The cyan color (#61DAFB) has stayed consistent through every major release: the 2015 Fiber rewrite, the 2019 introduction of Hooks, the 2020 move to concurrent rendering, and the 2022 React 18 launch. When pairing the logo with a dark background it reads best at full saturation; on light surfaces, a slight outline keeps the thin ellipses visible.
When to use this logo
Reach for the React logo in stack diagrams, hiring pages (“we build with…”), tutorial thumbnails, conference slides, and IDE plugin artwork. For commercial use on product pages you’d rather not imply endorsement from Meta — consult React’s brand guidelines before printing it on packaging or merchandise.
