Served at weaviate.io/banner/v1.json. Weaviate Database v1.40+ fetches it for the banner it logs every BANNER_INTERVAL and falls back to embedded art when it cannot. Keep this file's shape; a new format gets a new file.

Weaviate Database v1.40+ (weaviate/weaviate#12738) logs a startup banner and repeats it every
BANNER_INTERVAL; the repeat draws its art fromhttps://weaviate.io/banner/v1.jsonwhen it can fetch it and falls back to embedded art otherwise. This adds that file understatic/banner/.The shape (
schema_version: 1,art: up to 10 lines of up to 100 columns, printable characters only) is a contract with released binaries: change the art freely, never the shape — a new format getsv2.json.Update 2026-08-27. The file also carries an optional
message: up to 3 lines of up to 100 columns that Weaviate prints under the banner as a► News:line, for a release or feature announcement; leave it empty when there is nothing to announce. It currently carries the 1.39 announcement — the blog URL in it should be checked against the published post before merge.
