Steam Logo
The Steam logo runs on a gunmetal navy palette (#171A21 and #1B2838) lifted by a bright Steam blue accent (#66C0F4), set in a custom geometric sans-serif close to Valve's in-house Motiva Sans. The circular emblem is a cog wedged with a piston, a double pun on the platform's name and parent company Valve. For approved logo files and usage rules, head to Valve's official Steam branding guidelines.

Steam Logo Font
The Steam wordmark is based on Custom geometric sans-serif wordmark with a clockwork-cog emblem; close in feel to Motiva Sans, the typeface Valve uses across the Steam interface. Fonts used in brand logos are often customised and are not always available for licensing — use the official brand resources below for any approved assets.
Steam Logo History & Meaning
The Steam logo pairs a wordmark with a circular emblem built from a mechanical cog and a piston-like valve, a nod to both the platform's name and parent company Valve Corporation. Steam launched in 2003, and the dark navy gunmetal palette with a glowing blue accent was introduced in the 2010s as the client moved to its modern look. The current cog-and-pipe mark reinforces the idea of the platform as the machinery that powers PC gaming, while the deep blues echo the desaturated UI of the Steam client itself.
