Symbol of blockchain

[pawanjain]

well there is no specific symbol for the blockchain and hence you can make any symbol of your own which resembles the concept of the blockchain.
In a simplistic way, you can create a symbol image of blocks connected together which will depict the chain of blocks. Or if you like you can simply search for the term blockchain on google images which will show you some really cool images of it.

I drew two variants.
I like the latter myself more.
How are you?

If you like it, use it without restriction.
Logos are the property of the crypto community.

it looks not okay

I took in all the technical details:
After generating the first block, we get the address and can generate the next one - the arrow from the first block on the left to the next block of a different size on the right.
after generating the second block, change the address in the first one, so the back arrow and the new arrow to the right for generating the third block and etc.

I still don't grasp why you include double-headed arrows?

All the relations between blocks have one direction, being (imo) always the most important relation the "direction" of the hash which points always backwards, from a block to the previous block.

If you want to include an arrow pointing forwards (as I interpret, that the miner which generates the block makes it possible to append the next block, or as I wrote before, as a general timeline starting at the genesis block), it should be of another color or tone.

And the space between the blocks should be empty, I think. You could, in theory, try to include a symbol representing the mempool, but that would be overly complicated imo.

It was necessary to insert in the article a symbol of technology blockchain.
And with surprise he could not find the generally accepted symbol.
Tell me which character is accepted.
  And then I find it or not understandable or paid.
Here are the examples that I found:

Which one is better to use?

The first two looks more official and it can be shown as a scheme, tha last one is the best, to my mind.

[TheArchaeologist]

I personally think a good symbol would point out the fact each block refers to the previous block but also would show the fact it's distributed peer-to-peer through nodes. So basically: Blocks with one arrow to the previous block and nodes referring to all other nodes. I'm an awful artist so don't ask me for a drawing of this

Yes you are right.
Doing differently directed arrow. I want to say that the generation of the next block is based on information from the previous one. Mining.
And this happens simultaneously. And changes in the address in the previous and information for the next. Therefore, there is only one arrow. One color and in different directions.
And the emptiness between the blocks is replaced by a border of a different color.

Something like this maybe?

@o480:

Why the "loose" unconnected upper block? Is that an orphan block? As orphan blocks are kind of a "weakness" of blockchains, I think they shouldn't appear in a logo.

If you were connecting the upper block to the other ones, it could work. I like the "rhombus" design a bit - it's better-looking than rectangles or squares, and the concept is simple and easy to grasp.

[Ahsan Aly]

There's no specific symbol of Blockchain. Mostly peoples put different pictures in there article or post for just recognition of Blockchain.

[malikusama]

There is no standardized logo or symbol for it. According to me it's not about which one is good or attractive, but it is about which is more easily understandable to even a layman. Last one is official logo of blockchain.com but that doesn't mean it is the only one to represent the blockchain technology.
You can also create it by yourself to make it more logical and attractive.

[bL4nkcode]

Your forth logo is the new logo of a company which is blockchain.com so I guess it's not recommended like what other said.

And I googled some related icons and made this one like some designs on google did. Chain of blocks literally.

[ahmer_rafique]

I think Blockchain does not need any symbol blockchain itself a distributed ledger technology so you can assign symbol but it is not necessary.

[fargoway]

why not, symbol helps with mass adoption and its brand identity. It is a good thing to do

Something like that , but connecting the upper block would just make it a "circle" and that doesn't represent blockchain very well either.
.

[d5000]

The concept is cool. But there is one error, again: There should be no circularity in the design.

It's simple to fix: Simply delete one of the chains between blocks (it would then e.g. become like an "U" or a "C").

Something like that , but connecting the upper block would just make it a "circle" and that doesn't represent blockchain very well either.

No, if you connect the block with only one of the other blocks, then it becomes correct (similar to the correction I proposed to bL4nkcode), as there is no circularity then.

[Entratish]

My vote for no 1 & 2 though no 1 is better I think

I thought there  is no symbol yet for Block chain. . but as far as i know. block chain is a digitized, decentralized, public ledger of all crypto currency transactions.

That could work, should that block be a different color? Just that if they would all be black, it might not be balanced. And it could represent various things. Well, i have to try that when i'll get back home

This is a great version.
Absolutely not afraid that he is round.
The symbol is not a technical scheme.
The drawing should reflect the principle, not the technical aspects.
This is visualization and it should look beautiful.

Is your drawing free for use and change?
I want to try to play with the colours.
