how to disable spring boot logo in stdout?

Question

Is there a way to disable the lovely but very visible ASCII Spring boot logo :

  .   ____          _            __ _ _
 /\\ / ___'_ __ _ _(_)_ __  __ _ \ \ \ \
( ( )\___ | '_ | '_| | '_ \/ _` | \ \ \ \
 \\/  ___)| |_)| | | | | || (_| |  ) ) ) )
  '  |____| .__|_| |_|_| |_\__, | / / / /
 =========|_|==============|___/=/_/_/_/
 :: Spring Boot ::        (v1.1.8.RELEASE)

...dumped in STDOUT every time your run a spring boot app?

I switched all logging to ERROR in my logback.xml, but that did nothing:

<root level="ERROR">
    <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</root>

edit: It's not called a "Logo" in the documentation. The search-friendly-term is a "banner".

Add `spring.main.show_banner=false` to your application.properties. — M. Deinum, Oct 27 '14 at 11:11
it's said that "spring.main.show_banner=false" has been deprecated — mxi1, Feb 02 '16 at 02:45

http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-banner

new SpringApplicationBuilder()
    .showBanner(false)
    .sources(Parent.class)
    .child(Application.class)
    .run(args);

Edit In the newer versions of spring boot(current is 1.3.3) the way to do it is:

1) application.properties

spring.main.banner-mode=off

2) application.yml

spring:
    main:
        banner-mode: "off"

3) main method

public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication app = new SpringApplication(MySpringConfiguration.class);
    app.setBannerMode(Banner.Mode.OFF);
    app.run(args);
}

Docs

Edit:

To change this with and environment variable use the property with underscore instead of dot. Try:

SPRING_MAIN_BANNER-MODE=off

See the docs for externalized config.

Perfect. I was frantically googling the docs about a "logo", but it's called a banner. Well, thank you ! – Fabien Benoit-Koch Oct 27 '14 at 11:01

It's good though -now all of us searching for logo find this page (; – ASA Jan 12 '16 at 13:45

should be `new SpringApplicationBuilder().bannerMode(Banner.Mode.OFF)` as showBanner is now deprecated – Ondrej Skalicka May 03 '16 at 15:12
What's the environment variable equivalent of this? I don't have access to the spring boot app directly (it's a docker image) and so i am setting spring properties via env vars. – batjko Nov 16 '17 at 09:54
For an environment variable, I would recommend "SPRING_MAIN_BANNER_MODE", with an underscore instead of a "-", in case the server doesn't support dashes in environment variables. – pconrey Apr 23 '19 at 21:37

Another option is adding custom banner in a banner.txt file to your classpath, that will change to your custom banner.

create a file banner.txt in the classpath (i.e: src/main/resources)
Edit you custom banner
Run the application

This has changed slightly in Spring Boot 1.3. The property is now:

spring.main.banner_mode=off

In code, it is now:

springApplication.setBannerMode(Banner.Mode.OFF);

or using the builder:

new SpringApplicationBuilder()
.bannerMode(Banner.Mode.OFF)

You can set spring.main.show_banner=false in your application.properties as described in http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto-properties-and-configuration.html.

To remove this:

1) spring.main.banner-mode=off

Add above line in the file

application.properties

OR

2) USE this in Main java class

setBannerMode(Banner.Mode.OFF);

OR

3) in-app*.yml file

spring:
        main :
               banner-mode=off

You are right, basically. But some old version (eg. 2.1.6.RELEASE) Spring Boot had BindException problem. `Caused by: org.springframework.core.convert.ConverterNotFoundException: No converter found capable of converting from type [java.lang.Boolean] to type [org.springframework.boot.Banner$Mode] at org.springframework.core.convert.support.GenericConversionService.handleConverterNotFound(GenericConversionService.java:321) ~[spring-core-5.1.8.RELEASE.jar:5.1.8.RELEASE]` – Namo Sep 24 '21 at 07:28
cool I am glad :) – Vipul Gulhane Sep 25 '21 at 04:16

If you are using Spring Boot 1.3 and application.yml (not properties) then you need to quote the 'OFF' i.e.

spring:
  main:
    banner_mode: 'OFF'

create a file "application.yml" under src/main/resources" and paste the below code.That would do the job

spring:
    main:
        banner-mode: "off"

You can use this code to remove banner

import org.springframework.boot.Banner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication


public class SpringBootConsoleApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        SpringApplication app = new SpringApplication(SpringBootConsoleApplication.class);
        app.setBannerMode(Banner.Mode.OFF);
        app.run(args);

    }

}
