NVidia Corporation focuses in accelerated computing in fields such as 
computer graphics, program interfaces, AI (Artificial Intelligence) and 
metaverse among others and it is currently a full-stack computing company with 
data-center-scale offerings as well. It was established on April 5, 1993 in 
Sunnyvale, California and its current headquarters are located in Santa Monica, 
California.
NVidia initially had no name and the co-founders named all 
their files NV, as in "next version". The need to incorporate the company 
prompted the co-founders to review all words with those two letters. At one 
point two of the founders wanted to call the company NVision, but that name was 
already taken so the other founder suggested the name NVidia, from "invidia", 
the Latin word for "envy".

The flag is a white horizontal 
background with the logo in the middle, the logo being a in green and the 
company's name below in black capitals followed by the registered trademark ® 
symbol.
The initial logo for Nvidia was composed of a living green, white 
and black emblem, where the “all-seeing eye” in bold lines was placed half on 
the white background, and a half on the line square. The lettering in all 
capitals with the first “N” in the lowercase was placed under the emblem in 
black. The typeface of the inscription featured traditional serif contours for 
the capitals and an elegant cursive for “N”.
The color palette of the 
company’s symbol was switched to intense green and white in 2006, and the 
wordmark changed its style. The eye, standing for constant search of new 
technologies, approached, and innovations, became brighter and stronger in the 
new green and started evoking a feeling of success and progress.
