The Bitcoin logo: what it looks like and its history
Most Bitcoin merchandise has the famous Bitcoin logo, now a symbol of digital currencies and instantly recognisable.
Originally, the Bitcoin logo, introduced in 2009, was a gold coin with the words “BC” on it. This logo was in use for a few months, and featured two capital letters in a traditional bold sans-serif font, with clean outlines and straight cuts. The gold and yellow color palette of the brand made the logo look like a real metal coin.
As mentioned above, after a few months the logo was redesigned and that’s when the iconic “B” symbol was first created. The letter “B” with two vertical lines was placed on a shaded, pure and refined golden circle, just like the one in the previous version, but with more clarity and sharpness. The new sign made the currency look real, the same as US dollars, Euros or others.
In late 2010, the Bitcoin logo was redesigned again, with the “B” white and positioned diagonally, within a simple orange coin. The design became completely flat and all the nuances disappeared.
The new orange color and the white palette are a representation of energy and growth, of progress and movement. The white serif “B”, with two vertical lines running through it, looks solid and evokes a sense of loyalty and professionalism.
Later, the official Bitcoin logo was modified by Satoshi, also known as “the father of Bitcoin, who added two vertical strokes. The current version was created by Bitboy. The cryptocurrency has the currency code BTC, which is not officially registered.
There is obviously strong symbolism behind Bitcoin’s official and final logo, which makes all the items behind it on thecryptomerch.com even more unique
In fact, 8″ acts as a numeric character for “B” (for block). The 12.5% also symbolizes “8” and “B” (that’s one eighth).
The two vertical lines, on the other hand, primarily suggest US dollars. But when you look closer, it is possible to notice that they can only be seen above and below the “B”, while the line on the dollar symbol is different.
For this reason, the “B” appears to have been placed above the “$.” This symbolizes that the old international currency, the dollar, has been replaced by Bitcoin.
