Sun’s cartoon character associated with Java. When you see Duke in your system tray, your can right click him to turn the Java console on and off. on 2006-11-13 Sun made the Duke logo open source.

CMP Free Icons

I commissioned the Aha-Soft artists to create the following 5 icons. They come in sizes from 16 × 16 to 256 × 256 in both png and ico format. You may download the entire suite of sizes and formats and use it as you please.

Icons You May Use Freely On Your Own Website and and in Your Own Applications
Icon shown 128 × 128	Download	Purpose	Description
	download	JWS Java Web Start	a winged coffee bean being launched by a spring. It suggests whimsically launching the Java app into the air, like launching a rocket. You might use the icon for the .jnlp extension.
	download	JDK Java Development Kit	Sun’s public domain Duke chararacter dressed as a full-figured carpenter carrying a tool kit containing a saw. You might use the icon for the .java extension.
	download	JRE Java Runtime Environment	Sun’s public domain Duke chararacter as a runner, stripped down and lean, to suggest the bare essentials needed to run Java applications. He is wearing a yellow jersey, suggestive of the yellow jersey worn by the front runner in la Tour de France bicycle race. You might use the icon for the .class extension.
	download	woodpecker	Woodpecker. I am not sure what precise species this one is supposed to be. It looks a bit like a golden fronted woodpecker. The image was only intended to represent a generic woodpecker. Check out whatbird.com search for excellent bird illustrations to help you identify species. “If builders built buildings the way programmers write programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization.” ~ Weinberg’s Second Law (born: 1933 age: 76)
	download	blue whale	This is blue whale, the largest animal that ever existed.
