Stellar new logo

Stellar is an open network. It serves as the backbone to all kinds of financial products and services and is home to a diverse ecosystem of projects. The logo should be use-case neutral — for example, it can’t be clearly about “remittances”. The logo should of course look good at any size: as an app icon, on coinmarketcap, on a tee shirt, on a billboard. 

The new logo should tell some of Stellar’s story.

It should reflect the openness of the network. It should feel friendly, inclusive. And, ideally, it should nod to Stellar’s past — if the logo can’t be a cartoon rocketship, it could at least harken to Stellar’s more playful, space-exploratory days.

The new logo should work as a currency symbol.

This final requirement evolved as we worked with Kurppa. On its own, our logo will represent Stellar Lumens, so it should be able to stand in for the coin. But also, in the future, when Stellar is a global monetary standard, the logo will need to work in-line, so you can type it in a sentence, like you do with $ and € and £ and ¥. The unicode symbol for “Stellar Lumens” might not yet exist, but it one day will, so the logo should come prepared.
