The Cisco Logo: Design and Meaning

In its canonical form, the Cisco emblem occupies a landscape-oriented lockup (1024×540 pixels, 1.90:1 aspect ratio). The mark uses a focused monochrome palette centered on cyan (#049FD9, RGB 4, 159, 217, CMYK 98, 27, 0, 15), giving the emblem crisp legibility across both digital interfaces and single-ink print runs.

The visual history of Cisco spans 2 documented design eras beginning in 2006, including earlier emblems from 2006–2013. The current iteration has represented the brand since 2013. For design, editorial and production workflows, this page provides 4 verified asset variants (transparent, on white background, black and white). The master raster file is a 1024×540 px transparent PNG (28 KB) with an isolated alpha channel, accompanied by a lightweight 2 KB scalable SVG vector for infinite-resolution print, signage and UI scaling, plus dedicated black and white one-color versions for dark backgrounds, embossing and screen printing.
