Part of the rebrand. Tracked on Naomi's "Rebrand Asks" list as "Add the icon to our Java SDK", due 2026-10-29.

Why this differs from the NuGet ask

The sibling item on that list is "Update the icon on our four NuGet packages", which is a <PackageIcon> change in each .csproj. There is no Maven Central equivalent. The POM schema has no icon or logo element, and the Central artifact page renders only name, description, url, licenses, developers and scm — all of which pom.xml already sets correctly. So nothing here lands on the registry; the mark goes on the GitHub surfaces instead.

That is also why the list says "Add" for Java and "Update" for NuGet: this repo had no image assets at all.

Changes

• .github/images/dg_logo.png — the new purple D mark, 400×400, from the rebrand asset shared in #team-devrel-internal
• .github/images/social-preview.png — 1280×640 card, set in the new brand font (Work Sans) on the brand near-black
• README.md — logo above the title

.github/ is already a permanently frozen entry in .fernignore, so no freeze changes are needed.

Manual step after merge

GitHub does not read the social preview from the tree. It has to be uploaded once at Settings → General → Social preview. The PNG is committed so it is versioned and reproducible.

Verification

• ReadmeSnippetsCompileTest passes
• spotless targets Java sources only and is unaffected by this change

Note for review

The mark is the 400×400 JPEG from the Slack thread, which looks like the social-avatar export rather than an official brand-pack asset. Fine at README size; if there is an SVG or higher-res PNG in the rebrand pack, swapping it is a one-file change.

Looks good. Checked the assets:

• dg_logo.png is a real PNG (400x400, no alpha), not a JPEG with a .png name, so no renderer weirdness. Fuchsia matches the brand #E042FF. Solid dark tile reads fine on both light and dark GitHub themes.
• README header renders, relative path resolves, and ReadmeSnippetsCompileTest only reads java code blocks so the

  swap can't touch it. Nothing in the repo links to #deepgram-java-sdk either.

• Social card is 1280x640, 228 KB, copy spelled right, Work Sans.
• chore: is right, no release needed.

Two small things, neither blocking:

• The brand pack has an official transparent Fuchsia symbol (SVG + PNGs up to 2084px) if you want to swap out the Slack export. Not visible at 44px, so totally optional.
• PR body still says "logo above the title" and "JPEG". It's inline now and the file's a PNG. Worth a quick edit so the merge record matches.

Don't forget the Settings > Social preview upload after merge.
