What about 3-dimensional wire/line cubes, connected at the corners to make a chain? Seems like it would iconify the idea quite well.
I don't understand fully.  Something like the first one in post #1 (the OP)[/quote] but in the form of a chain? Could work.

Just an idea,

Something like that Smiley, 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.

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
That's not that important. If the block is of a different colour, it could represent the genesis block, for example.

An idea: What if you use a slightly bigger size for the upper block and "divide" it in the fashion of gmaxwell's block symbol (or the Blockchain.com symbol), to visualize transactions and data inside the block? Then you have also a visual differentiation from the three remaining blocks and it becomes less boring.

@moseich: As I wrote, I like this symbol, too ... only that I would delete one of the chains so it becomes correct. Otherwise simply the concept is wrong.

I think the 3rd symbol is so good. And the second choice is the 1st symbol. It's looked simple but have a good mean for Blockchain technology Smiley

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.


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.

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").

@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. Wink

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 Wink
