Topic: A logo for Satoshis, the smallest unit of a bitcoin. (Read 484 times)

I assigned the Bitcoin symbol to my keyboard as key combination shift "menu", like so ₿.

If you are on Linux you can read my own thread here. For other operating systems is just a matter of assigning a key to the unicode Bitcoin character U+20BF. This symbol was added in 2017 to the unicode charts, yes i know the forum can do it with [btc], but the unicode works across all unicode programs, which are nearly all these days.

It`s nice, reminded me on infinity Symbol ∞, when you look it from the side, just your design is more complicated. Nice one for the first try, I believe that you will try to make few more.


They are not! I don`t have sign for bitcoin on my keyboard too, I don`t know for such keyboard that have crypto signs, but maybe there will be. not maybe for sure there will be such keyboards in near future. It would be interesting, I would buy such keyboard for sure, and many others too.
That is actually a great business idea, when you think about it a little.

I don't think we really need a logo for the smallest unit value of bitcoin, satoshi seems like a good name maybe we need a logo for that 

I agree there are more important stuffs to consider why waste time on thinking about Sat's Logo?
And just like what you said I also think that there is no need to create a logo for Sats and even Bits people are already aware of the denomination of Bitcoin and newbies could easily search and compute it on the internet.

Satoshis are considered as the smallest unit of Bitcoin, It is calculated as 100,000,000 Satoshi = 1 Bitcoin where 1 Satoshi = 0.00000001 Bitcoin. As it is popularly termed by users, so, it is quite fair to give it a logo as defining identity in the crypto business.

the character already exists Ⓢ



could be good too. but both are not on keyboards  

Something like this?

i thought this looked a little better than a Ş with a tail

(im no graphic designer so treat this as novice attempt of demo image)

thats a good recomendation  .  ive been searching some btc images and logos on the net and i oftenly see "B" logo or symbol but i dont see any satoshi symbol . on the forum or on some devices there were also a symbol "B" for  bitcoin but i dont use them and i think more people also didnt bother to use those symbols because we can easily write the letters "btc" for bitcoin and "sats" for satoshi  . its not really that time consuming though

I don`t like it either, satoshi logo needs to look better. I never thought about it before, it`s a nice idea. What sounds better 0.0001 BTC or 10k satoshis? It`s one dollar in bitcoins! But who will make it, and who will use it will be interesting too see, someone needs to start somewhere.
It would be nice we to make some contest here on forum, vote for the best one and spread it everywhere!

You have a good point on that.
As bitcoin becomes mainstream and it is proportionated into smallet amounts the need for a logo will rise.
However, I think that it is a little bit early and this logo is going to be developed when the time will come. The community act a lot of fact when actions like this one will make us communicate easier.

Like the symbols for US Dollar & cents, the symbols for Bitcoin and Satoshi should be similar. For Bitcoin, currently we have a "B", with two vertical ticks each on the top and the bottom. So for Satoshi also, we can have a "S", with two vertical ticks each on the top and the bottom. The B should be in upper case, while the S should be in lower case.

Most important things should be focus on and not to the less important. Basically placing decimal value in between the mBTC and Satoshi probably might lead us to a bigger confusion in the nearest future, I would have suggest we look over to other things that need more attention than those that need none, especially the adoption of Bitcoin.

My country's garbage fiat is already 1:1 with the satoshi so you could temporarily call them bolivar... (it won't last long, at current hyperinflation rates).

1 satoshi is always 0.00000001 BTC.

Over here 5 million satoshis would buy a 4k display, this can be simply expressed as:

0.05000000 BTC but obviously convention dictates the zeroes to the right are redundant, so the TV is just 0.05 BTC. or. 5 million satoshis.

Those who think expressing in satoshis is hard, is people who have never lived under inflation. Expressing things in thousands, millions, or hundreds of millions is how i remember prices for more than half of my adult life. Given that the moronic government keeps removing zeroes and remaking the banknotes, Zimbabwe style as if that would stop anything (and we are headed to the same result, already people are setting prices in USD albeit that's technically forbidden. But you know how it is between politicians and reality...

In theory the word "cent" already is telling you 100 (remember per-cent)?

Then what is a satoshi?

1 BTC is 1.00000000 or 100 000 000 that is 100 million satoshis. Therefore a centimillion (a hundred million part of a Bitcoin).

This also happens to be 10 nanos using SI nomenclature. Maybe you could also say hectomega (100 million) satoshis

Instead of cent you could say cenmil, or centimillion. Perhaps something resembling a ¢ᴍ or ᴄᴍ squeezed to be a single char size, with a vertical stripe.

S with cedilla or S with comma?! That's a common letter in Turkish, Romanian and other languages. I think that we can do better than that.

I don't find any reason for a new logo for Satoshi when we have BTC to mention Satoshi with some decimal points. As days pass the acceptance level will increase there might be a need. As of now the direct usage of bitcoin is quite low which can be described in terms of BTC

Satoshi is a part of bitcoin, he can use the logo of bitcoin anytime. It's not a different currency, so I think we don't need to create a logo for satoshi. If they really wanted that then the founder itself will create it, not us. Why do you think a logo is very necessary and come up to the point that we need a logo for satoshi? lol. Stop thinking complex things because it will just end to a lot more error, this is enough.

not interested in using other symbols, seem foreign and difficult to distinguish.
there is no problem in using the bitcoin logo or satoshi because both are more popular and inherent.
maybe this will be confusing.

Disagree. Dealing with too much leading or trailing zeros is much more error-prone than using other units. mBTC is currently the most convenient unit for general purposes, because it's roughly equal to $10. Electrum uses it by default, and I don't see many people complaining about it. I don't like the name "bits" because it's not very descriptive so I prefer to call them micro-bitcoin (μBTC).

I really hope that there will be a good consensus in Bitcoin community about units, we already have to deal with Americans and their Freedom Units™  in real world.

I'm seeing some sites use "sats" or "Sats" but there are no one settling to one sign or logo. If I will be choosing one, I want the logo with the two slashes on it .
