Java has Duke

collapsed inline media

Duke, Java's mascot. A triangular shaped character with a red nose.

Ugh, I accidentally got a fake transparent background. Oh well.

Branding fail so bad that everyone forgets that Java even has a mascot.

There are dozens of us! Millions of devices and dozens of us know about Duke!

Fun fact, Duke is released to the public. I forget in what way exactly, but Oracle freed them (him? it?).

I thought it was a cup of coffee? A hipster barista in 90’s Memphis style illustration would be most accurate I think.

Damn, I went searching online for some examples and got nothing that was really from back then. Just shitloads of AI vaporware slop. Time to dig out my old design mags I guess.

That would be the natural assumption, but Sun didn't do it. I think there is a logo for books, but not one by Sun/Oracle.
