About Debian

Debian is a free operating system created by the Debian Project, an international community of developers. It brings together a kernel, system utilities, and software packages for use on computers.

Ian Murdock began the project in August 1993 while studying at Purdue University in the United States. Debian subsequently grew into an international community. Software in the Public Interest, Inc. is the registered trademark owner.

Meaning and History of the Debian Logo

The complete Debian logo combines a red spiral symbol with the black lowercase wordmark beneath it. A red diamond shape forms the dot of the letter i. The separate icon presents the spiral, while the wordmark asset isolates the lettering for layouts where the name is needed without the symbol.

Evolution of the Logo

Raul Silva created the Debian Open Use Logo, and Debian developers selected it through a vote in 1999. The available account of its history identifies this selection as a key milestone in the mark’s adoption.

Debian Color Palette

The logo’s palette uses red for the spiral and the diamond-shaped dot, paired with black lettering in the complete wordmark. These are the colors of the supplied colored assets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the Debian logo for commercial purposes?

Ask Debian for official permission before using the mark commercially. The logo has stated license options, but you should also confirm that your intended use meets the applicable terms.

What file formats are available?

PNG is a raster format suited to fixed-size placements, while SVG is a vector format that can be resized without becoming pixelated. Choose the format that fits your design workflow and intended placement.

What is the maximum size for a transparent PNG?

Each asset can be downloaded as a transparent PNG at up to 2048 px, which can provide more flexibility when placing it in larger digital layouts.

Are the logo colors specified by a Pantone reference?

The source SVG colors are retained rather than matched to a Pantone equivalent. For color-sensitive work, use the logo artwork as supplied instead of substituting a separate Pantone value.
