OpenIO was a French software company that developed an open source, software-defined object storage system. Founded in 2015, the company was acquired by OVHcloud in July 2020, after which its technology became the core of OVHcloud’s object storage offering [1].
Design and History
OpenIO’s visual identity was documented as part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Landscape, a directory that catalogs cloud native projects and companies. The OpenIO entry in this landscape includes a logo file reference, confirming the mark was used in official cloud ecosystem materials [2].
The logo was also added to the OpenIO SDS documentation repository in February 2016, according to commit history on the project’s GitHub page, indicating the mark was in use during the company’s early operational period [3].
Following the OVHcloud acquisition in July 2020, OpenIO was withdrawn from the market as an independent brand, with its technology absorbed into OVHcloud’s storage product line [4]. The OpenIO logo is no longer actively used as a standalone corporate identity.
Meaning and Symbolism
No official documentation from OpenIO or OVHcloud describing the intended symbolism, design meaning, or color rationale behind the OpenIO logo was found in the available research. The logo is visually documented in the CNCF Landscape and related repositories, but the company did not publish a formal brand guideline explaining its design choices [2].
Typography and Design
No verifiable information about the typography, font selection, or design construction of the OpenIO logo was located in official sources. The logo appears in the CNCF Landscape directory and in the project’s documentation repository, but no design specification or brand manual has been published that would confirm typeface details or exact color values [2].
