Problem
Recently, I've created a post about HTML5 Canvas API and needed to make a cover image for it. I wanted to put a recognizable canvas logo on a solid background and applied custom colors, but I ran into a blocker.
Starting Point
So, do you know what the Canvas logo looks like?
According to Wikipedia, it is a suggestion for a logo of the HTML5 canvas element by netgoblin154. It was published in 2012 and looks a bit outdated in 2021.
Solution
So, I decided to make a more suitable logo for my purpose.
I used netgloblin154's idea as a reference point, but started with a familiar HTML5 logo and colored it using an awesome Nord theme.
IMHO, it looks much more recognizable and emphasizes that Canvas API is a part of HTML5.
Color regarding the updated logo is suitable for a dark background as is.
And works on light background with tiny color tweaking.
Use it!
Now I want to share it with you guys.
In case you face a similar task, you could download both variants of the updated logo from the gist.
Happy blogging...
