Crypto History: I Designed the Litecoin Logo

adept (60)in #cryptocurrency • 8 years ago (edited)

Five and a half years ago I made this post on Bitcointalk.org about how I thought Ł should be used as the litecoin symbol. You see, back then the litecoin logo looked like this:

Myself, being a graphic designer thought this too vague and unclear. Litecoin needed a strong identity, a highly recognizable sigil to anchor it's place as one of the founding cryptocurrencies. How did I choose Ł? I simply opened up my computer's character map and thought it looked the best!

The symbol I originally chose was adopted by the community and even though the actual logo is not of my own design, I am proud to have picked the core visual identity for an entity with an over $3 billion market cap.

This is definitley something worth mentioning. In design, complex is almost never the way to go when trying to think of a design to be used in a large scale project. My insides are tickled at this tale!
