CloakCoin (CLOAK) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency launched in 2014 as an open-source, peer-to-peer payment system. Its visual identity has centered on a circular emblem, with the most significant documented change arriving in late 2017 alongside the introduction of the Enigma privacy protocol.
Design and History
CloakCoin’s official website describes the project as a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency offering fully private transactions through its Enigma encryption system. The brand’s motto since 2014 has been “Peace & Love,” and official announcements are terminated with this message. [1] [2]
The most concrete documented event in CloakCoin’s logo history occurred in December 2017, when a file titled “Cloak logo new.png” was uploaded to the official CloakCoin Wiki, described by the uploader as the “New enigma logo 2017.” [3] This new mark was introduced in connection with the Enigma protocol, whose name derives from the original Greek word meaning “riddle, puzzle, mystery,” describing CloakCoin’s private, secure, untraceable and decentralized transactions. [4]
Prior to this update, the CloakCoin mark had been in circulation since the project’s 2014 founding. The 2017 refresh aligned the visual identity with the Enigma branding push, which also included a dedicated Enigma logo used in official documentation. [4]
Meaning and Symbolism
The circular emblem format is consistent with the coin-based iconography common to cryptocurrency branding. The 2017 “New enigma logo” was explicitly tied to the Enigma protocol, which the project describes as making it “impossible for any outside observers to trace payments done with CLOAKCOIN.” [4]
Typography and Design
No official documentation from CloakCoin specifies the typeface used in its wordmark or the exact color values of its logo. The mark is available in standard vector formats (SVG and PNG) through various logo repositories, but the project itself has not published formal brand guidelines detailing typography or color specifications.
