About Kubernetes
A flat, solid blue rounded heptagon (seven-sided polygon with slightly rounded corners) contains a white ship's wheel (helm) centered inside. The wheel is stylized with a central hexagonal hub and seven spokes ending in rounded handles; the wheel and hub are rendered as a single white glyph.
The design is minimalist and emblematic: a single-color blue background with a bold white icon, plus a thin white inner border and a subtle darker blue outline/shadow around the heptagon for contrast against the background.
What's in it: ship's wheel helm
Shapes: rounded heptagon circular wheel hexagonal hub emblem
Style: flat minimalist geometric glyph emblem
A ship's wheel/helm evokes steering, control and orchestration (guiding or managing fleets of containers/services).
