What is CoinMarketCap?
CoinMarketCap is the world’s largest cryptocurrency data aggregator, which was founded by Brandon Chez in 2013, and acquired by Binance in 2020. It is the largest informational and statistical portal about cryptocurrencies traded on exchanges, with a perfect reputation.
As for the visual identity, the badge of CoinMarketCap looks modern and sleek, composed of an emblem and a wordmark, which can be placed in different ways and drawn in two variants of color palettes. The emblem is also used as the central element of the platform’s icon.
The CoinMarketCap logo, designed in 2013 is minimalist but cool, elegant, but modern. Simple lines, solid color, and clean shapes, when working together elements can create a truly iconic badge. And the CoinMarketCap insignia is one of them.
The emblem of the main cryptocurrency information platform in the world depicts a bold handwritten letter “M”, stylized like the @ symbol. In the primary version of the logo, the “M” is executed in black, as well as the logotype, which can be placed whether under the emblem or on its right.
The inscription uses an elegant sans-serif typeface, where the lines of the letters feature rounded ends, which adds friendliness and softness to the whole badge. The wordmark is set in the title case, with “C”, “M” and “C” capitalized, and all three parts of the platform’s name placed with no space between each other.
Apart from the black-and-white color palette, the platform also uses an electric-blue and white combination, depending on the needs, but for the square icon, it is almost always a white stylized “M” on a solid blue background.
