Java Logo History

What is the significance of the Java Brand?

The Java Powered logo means the device or application you have has passed our rigorous tests and it is safe to use. So, when you see the Java Powered logo, you can expect a fun, engaging, interactive experience that Java technology delivers.





The Java Compatible logo tells developers that the platform they are writing on has passed a set of tests that ensures that their programs will run anywhere (Something we call "Write Once, Run Anywhere"). This ensures that their customers are free from being locked into one vendor or one solution.
