What the Sprite Logo Colors Mean?
The Sprite logo colors read as citrus and cold. Green stood for lime from the start in 1961, and a star, later a lemon-lime graphic, sat above the letters. A blue accent entered with the splash device to suggest ice and fizz. The 2019 redraw flattened the whole thing and dropped most of the fruit.
Sprite Logo Color History
Sprite logo color history keeps green throughout, moving from a serifed 1961 wordmark with a green star, to the lemon-lime version of 1989, to the flat green mark used now.
Sprite Logo Fonts
Sprite logo fonts are a custom italic sans, not for sale. A bold sloped grotesque is the closest match.
Sprite Logo JPG
Sprite logo in JPG. No transparency, so it is flattened onto white. Safe for documents and slide decks.
Sprite Logo PNG
Sprite logo in PNG, with a transparent background. Use it over a colored surface.
Sprite Logo WebP
Sprite logo in WebP. Same transparency as the PNG at about a third of the file size.
Sprite Color Code Shades
Sprite color code shades step evenly from the primary toward black, for hover states, borders and shadows.
These are interface steps, not Sprite paint or trim names.

Brand colors are chosen for recognition, not for legibility. A failing value here is normal. It means use it as a fill, not as text.
