Bitcoin Diamond (BCD) is a cryptocurrency that forked from the Bitcoin blockchain at block height 495866 in November 2017, introducing changes such as a larger block size, lower transaction fees, and GPU-friendly mining to broaden mining participation [1]. The project is operated by the Bitcoin Diamond Foundation [2].
Design and History
Bitcoin Diamond launched its visual identity alongside the coin’s debut in late 2017. The fork was announced by the EVEY team, which launched the official website at the time of the project’s introduction [3]. The coin successfully forked on November 24, 2017, with support from 28 global exchanges [4].
The Bitcoin Diamond logo is widely distributed across cryptocurrency platforms and wallet registries, including the Trust Wallet asset repository, which lists the project’s official logo alongside its blockchain information [5]. The logo is also available through dedicated cryptocurrency logo services that offer the mark in PNG and SVG formats for integration into exchanges, wallets, and other applications [6].
Meaning and Symbolism
The Bitcoin Diamond mark features a diamond-shaped emblem, a visual reference to the project’s name [7]. The diamond motif distinguishes the coin from the original Bitcoin mark while maintaining a clear connection to the Bitcoin lineage through the shared “Bitcoin” name and the orange color family commonly associated with Bitcoin-derived projects.
Beyond the diamond shape, the project’s identity emphasizes accessibility and broader participation in mining, themes that are reflected in its technical positioning rather than in documented visual symbolism [1].
Typography and Design
No official documentation has been published regarding the specific typeface used in the Bitcoin Diamond wordmark or the exact color specifications of the logo. The mark is distributed primarily as a standalone icon in cryptocurrency contexts, with the diamond emblem serving as the primary identifying element across exchanges and wallet platforms [6].
