Octovisuals

Octovisuals are GitHub's internal set of logos and visuals for brand and marketing usage.

GitHub's brand is visually expressed in a multitude of ways depending on the project, audience, and more. We use various brand assets, such as Octovisuals, to represent different aspects of GitHub. Octovisuals are intended for internal use only and can only be accessed by Github staff.
