Which Companies Use Symbols Similar to That of Bitcoin?

[Imran232]

While watching an ice hockey match in Hungary a few weeks ago, I noticed something that looked like the BTC symbol on an advertisement on the ice. It turns out it wasn’t a Bitcoin symbol, but the logo of a company which looks similar.



Do you know of any Bitcoin lookalike symbols you would care to share?

Wow, that's quite interesting. Truely, I didn't think about it before watching this post. Now I see there are lots of online and offline companies who use logos that are similar to bitcoin. Maybe they got inspired by this logo. Though bitcoin is not very graphical or sexy looking, it is unique nonetheless. And maybe that's the reason people create logos like this. Well, I also want to confess something I thought about my shop's name and logo, which might be similar to bitcoin. The shop's name will be "Bichan" and the logo will be similar to bitcoin. There is a reason, because with the bitcoin money I am going to start my business. That is why my business is always dedicated to bitcoin. After successfully opening my business, I will share it with you guys. Just pray for me. Thank you.

Those brand logos that OP presented isn't a familiar or famous brands but I can see why there's some resemblance or reminder of the logo of bitcoin. But that's all coincidence or Satoshi or the person who decided on the bitcoin logo might've even been inspired by those very logos.

Now I see there are lots of online and offline companies who use logos that are similar to bitcoin. Maybe they got inspired by this logo.

Highly unlikely. The first company in my OP is in the construction business. They have been around since the 1950s. In my country, concrete is called "beton". Betonútépítő is a Hungarian company, which is located in a country that is part of the same geographical location where I live. I assume they have the same name for concrete. And the B is just the first letter. That's all.

The second company is also in the construction industry and if I remember correctly they were founded before Bitcoin came out as well.
Bollinger is the only that was founded after Bitcoin already became mainstream. 

Well, I also want to confess something I thought about my shop's name and logo, which might be similar to bitcoin. The shop's name will be "Bichan" and the logo will be similar to bitcoin. There is a reason, because with the bitcoin money I am going to start my business. That is why my business is always dedicated to bitcoin. After successfully opening my business, I will share it with you guys. Just pray for me. Thank you.

That's great, good luck with your ventures! So in the future there will be one more company to add to this topic.

There are many similar symbols, but this does not mean that it is plagiarism.

yes, no one can say that as plagiarism because bitcoin does not have a license for its own symbol

The striking or unique thing about the Bitcoin logo or symbol is how
it is morphed from the double bar dollar symbol
 


The logo is obviously a suggestion its a currency, the single bar dollar
symbol is the standard symbol but the double bar one is an alternative
[like Bitcoin]

maybe there are many other companies that use the same symbol on bitcoin but i am interested in
the $ symbol which has 2 lines as well as bitcoin only different initials
here it can be concluded that bitcoin and usdt are coin no. 1,

here it can be concluded that bitcoin and usdt are coin no. 1,

I can't accept any conclusion that implies USDT is a credible asset.  Please don't purport that USD and USDT are the same thing.  They aren't.  USD is a currency.  USDT is a load of unbacked IOUs from a company that could easily go bust and leave you holding a worthless pile of nothing.

While watching an ice hockey match in Hungary a few weeks ago, I noticed something that looked like the BTC symbol on an advertisement on the ice. It turns out it wasn’t a Bitcoin symbol, but the logo of a company which looks similar.

I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be interesting to research which companies use symbols and logos that look like BTC. Still, they are in no way related to the cryptocurrency niche?

I thought I would find dozens of similar logos and symbols. In reality, only a small number of them reminded me of Bitcoin. Of course, you can find hundreds of ‘B’ symbols, but very few of them have any similarities.   

This is what I was able to find:

1. Betonútépítő

Betonútépítő is a Hungarian construction company established in 1950. It was created after World War II to reconstruct damaged roads, airports, and railways in Hungary. It’s this company’s logo that I saw on the ice in Hungary.

2. Multi-B Construction Corporation

Seems like the B symbol is significant in the construction industry. This time it’s a Philippines-based construction company called Multi-B Construction Corporation that uses a logo that reminds me of Bitcoin. 

3. Bollinger Motors


Image source

Bollinger Trucks is a US-based company that develops electric trucks. They plan to start producing environment-friendly trucks by the end of 2021. The logo is a simple letter B, but together with the circle that surrounds it, it reminds me of Bitcoin.

In my opinion, the only detail that may be similar to the BTC logo are the letter "B" and anyone can use it because any business logo has this kind of detail in their company logo but I think its not intentional. Maybe they're not aware of BTC and it is a business logo that is different from a currency logo.

I never said that those companies are intentionally trying to replicate Bitcoin's logo or that they are somehow inspired by it. Why would a construction company created 60 years before Bitcoin have a cryptocurrency as its inspiration?!

If you look at the first logo of the Hungarian company, it's not just the letter B. It's also the orange background color. It looks very similar to something you would expect to find on a Bitcoin wallet, for example.

[NelfiNovita]

There are no companies near my house that use the B logo, maybe I can find one out there. In general, those who use the B logo for their company symbol because there is a meaning contained in the letter B, they use the letter B as a symbol not aiming that they also join crypto currencies or they also invest in Bitcoin but they use the B logo because there are other goals and objectives.

It was actually a beautiful symbol for me, possibly equal to the ranks of the dollar, yen, euro, and peso. I mean the lines that were placed in the dollar symbol because synonymous to a letter becoming a currency. And that what exactly happened to Bitcoin. A letter B with lines crossing vertically in the middle. Now that symbol is very powerful indeed, and I think that symbol will permeate all of human society for such a long time.

[Rampagoe004]

Actually many companies use symbols similar to bitcoin, but it all has their own characteristics and they have different reasons, but for bitcoin symbols I am more interested because there are two pillars above and below and this symbol is very close to the dollar that has a very deep meaning and this also brings us to the income we get if we have it, It's no wonder that so many other companies use the letter B to entice users to own it, but we should know that the symbol means a lot to every business we're developing.

The only logo I can think of that is remotely similar is the Google's Blogger Logo,
It has a B and is Orange .  .  .

That is the most accurate so far and I remember linking "blogger" logo to bitcoin one in my mind the first time I saw bitcoin, because their similarity in shape and colour. And it's an interesting coincidence, because blogger is from 1999, much older than bitcoin. On the other hand, another logos sharing some similarity (including another currencies) I see nowadays came after bitcoin, so I believe they were somehow inspired by the original crypto currency.
