The Bitcoin logo origin story

In over 16 years of Bitcoin’s existence, its logo has undergone several iterations driven by community feedback. The first Bitcoin logo, created by Satoshi Nakamoto, was a gold coin with a “BC” text embedded in the center, as shown below.

However, Nakamoto introduced a new logo on Feb. 24, 2010, which replaced the “BC” text with “₿.”

The logo was released as a copyright-free image and was widely accepted as the official symbol for Bitcoin.

On Nov. 1, 2010, a new iteration of the Bitcoin logo was created by a Bitcoin community member bitboy (unrelated to YouTuber BitBoy Crypto), which received overwhelming support from the early Bitcoiners.

As a result, bitboy’s logo was accepted as the official Bitcoin logo and continues to be used to date.

The updated logo replaced the gold background with a bright orange color and featured Nakamoto’s “₿” logo tiled clockwise by 14%.
