Bitcoin Logo

What the meaning of bitcoin logo?
How much degree b exactly?

[Little Mouse]

Not sure how much degree the B is, I can't remember whether I have ever read this anywhere. The initial Bitcoin logo wasn't this which was later even changed by Satoshi Nakamoto into the current logo of bitcointalk forum. Later on, bitcointalk user bitboy came with the current version though his thread doesn't show the image he posted. Check here- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1631.0 though you can check the original; thread here- https://web.archive.org/web/20130524191250/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1631.0

What the meaning of bitcoin logo?

I don't know if there's anything much to analyze as the most-recognized Bitcoin logo is literally just an orange circle with a tilted BTC.

Also, just a heads up: there's no "official" Bitcoin logo.

2nd Version by satoshi, is Bitcointalk logo now.

In my opinion, the 2nd version looks better (really, a nice logo) and I just got used to this logo already, seeing it on this forum. But I didn't know that this logo was created by Satoshi, which I think adds value to this image, making it unique in its kind, because it looks like we will never see images created by Nakamoto again.

Official logo or not, it's not so important. More important is what image people associate with bitcoin and are already used to. I don't think it makes sense to change the logo for a new one, as it often happens with the logo of various companies after rebranding.

While this logo was decent in its time, it's quite dated for today's standards(gradients, slight skeuomorphism). The simple orange with white BTC is simply a lot more simple and timeless.

I think it is fair to say that the most recognizable and probably the most used Bitcoin logo is designed by member bitboy, back in 2010. This is one of the first logos that were created for Bitcoin by a community member. It is a simple design, and it has proven to be timeless.

Hi guys, just drop by to say hi and to share with you some of the graphics I have done, feel free to download. All files are in PNG format, and almost all of them with transparent background. Hope you will find them useful.

I do not know why the images are no longer available in the original post, but anyone can find them in the archived version: https://web.archive.org/web/20130525203057/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1631.0;all



Best of all, according to the author: "Everyone can make use of the graphics freely even for commercial purposes with this license and not bound by any restriction."

How much degree b exactly?

Non exactly. But its quite obvious that the symbol BTC denotes its start of its word "Bitcoin" some dont mind this actually.

But its degree of importance can be feel globally since once you see that freakin symbol on different places, means its being adopted slowly.

Bitcoin logo has manifested itself out of the ether.

satoshi himself have created and posted the design of the second logo. Can't we call it as official  though we aren't using that one at all. Haven't seen any comment from satoshi in bitboy's thread too.

You are right though I didn't like the design much to be honest. However, I don't think anyone would be using this as bitcoin logo. Bitboy's logo has got the place for Unofficial Logo of Official Bitcoin

I don't think so — because while Satoshi is the inventor/founder, in the end community consensus is what decides with anything in general concerning Bitcoin, not Satoshi. Also, it's just the same reason how Bitcoin doesn't have an "official" website and "official" wallet.

Things we take for granted. Actually, I didn't know before now that there was an answer to the Bitcoin logo in relation to its size. The article link you provided was apt. It's the precision on details, for me.

About the logo, the rampantly circulated one which incidentally they say is the second version is better. The "BC" one looks childish to me 🙄

What do logo means exactly? They represent something and in the bitcoin case it has the BTC symbol in orange circle with the bitcoin sign 14% tilted clockwise in the orange circle if you are asking for it and you can check the thread mentioned above to see the user who made these logos which we treat as the bitcoin logo nowadays from 12 years.

The first logo Satoshi came up with was also changed after he asked for community response and there were some changes implemented then :



See he was also not declaring it as official logo although he could do it easily but the community support was his motive always.But after that bitboy dropped new logos and was accepted and liked by community so we can say them as used as official logo for bitcoin although they are kind of unofficial but community has accepted it as main one.

Where that number come from? Why?

If you read the article on the link, you will find the answer to that question. Here is the reason the logo maker tilted it to a certain degree:

Why rotate the B shape by 14° on the logo ?

14° came about by adding an infinite number of B’s together by dividing the previous value by 10.
12.5 + 1.25 + 0.125 + 0.0125 + 0.00125 + 0.000125 + 0.0000125 + 0.00000125 + 0.000000125 + 0.0000000125 + 0.00000000125 + 0.000000000125 …
This comes to about 13.888 repeating.
When using a drawing program that rounds the rotation angle to the closest full percent, the angle becomes 14°.

The angle represents the blockchain progressing into the future forever.

You can also read about this Bitcoin Logo at Bitcoinmagazine.com. Here's another explanation of why Logo B tilted to that degree:

For example, the number eight pops up multiple times in the dimensions and geometry of Bitcoin’s design (e.g., the B is rotated clockwise 13.88 degrees — more on this later). Per the internet language 1337, an eight resembles a B, which is short for “Block,” according to Wilson. Many of the patterns that went into creating the Bitcoin logo’s design, like the circles that eventually made up the B, contain the number eight. The dimensions of other shapes (like the rectangles in the design) had a length of 12.5 (or, one-eighth of 100, thus representing eight yet again).

Since eight is B, which stands for block in this symbology, each new pattern is like adding a new block to the logo. Everytime a shape is resized (as they were multiple times throughout the design process) this reflects the changing data size of each new block.

If you read the article on the link, you will find the answer to that question. Here is the reason the logo maker tilted it to a certain degree:

Very interesting to read, the knowledge I have had about logos and brand identity is that they are the simplest form of representation for a brand, company or thing. I've never really thought that even the angle of the B had a symbolic meaning. It is good to know that the creators were very intentional, they really did a great job.

Bitcoin logos:



Angles : 13.88° nearly full parameter 14°

Color: Golden

But only satoshi Nakamoto knows the symbol of logos and colour of coin golden. It's the universal secret.

[Smartvirus]

Also, just a heads up: there's no "official" Bitcoin logo.

This is what I know very much. I don't know where the Satoshi Nakamoto designed this and that is coming from. I think we are just stock with what has been popular enough to gain a foothold and it sticks. There isn't any much meaning attached to that other than a gold shiny coin with a big stroked B. Which I presume,

Gold colour just hinges on the nature of Gold which is attractive and valuable.
Coin remains a nature of ore money and
BTC remains the currency been referred.

There isn't anything much about these. Let the logo thing go and instead, just buy some bitcoins.

But only satoshi Nakamoto knows the symbol of logos and colour of coin golden. It's the universal secret.

Not true. satoshi has written the code initially and designed 2 logos too. But the first one was including only BC in the logo as you can my first post here. Then all started here about the currency symbol which is more likely a Thai Baht symbol- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41.0
Actually, logo has barely anything to do with satoshi.

[Laurendaldin]

Well, technically it means a well-done design job the lettering of the letter B in the style of symbols denoting real currencies, a coin... Everything at first glance suggests that we are dealing with money, albeit virtual.
