Ellaism (ELLA) is an Ethereum-based blockchain network launched in September 2017, created as a community-driven platform with zero pre-mine and no mandatory developer fees [1][2]. The project’s visual identity is most commonly encountered through the ELLA coin icon used across cryptocurrency wallets, exchanges, and block explorers.
Design and History
The Ellaism logo is a circular emblem featuring a stylized star-like geometric form. The mark is rendered in green and white, with the green palette giving the coin icon its distinctive appearance across digital platforms [3]. The icon is widely distributed through the open-source Cryptocurrency Icons pack, a community collection of coin logos used by wallets and tracking sites [4].
Ellaism was created as a hard fork of Ethereum, designed to operate as a decentralized platform for smart contracts and distributed applications [5]. The project’s stated philosophy emphasizes decentralization, community governance, and resistance to contentious hard forks [6]. The logo has remained consistent with this community-driven approach, circulating primarily as a digital asset icon rather than through formal brand guidelines.
Meaning and Symbolism
The Ellaism logo’s circular emblem format and star-like central motif are consistent with the visual language common to cryptocurrency coin icons, where geometric simplicity aids recognition at small sizes across wallets and exchanges. The green and white color scheme distinguishes ELLA from other Ethereum-based tokens in listing interfaces [3]. No official documentation from the Ellaism project provides a formal interpretation of the logo’s symbolism or color meaning.
Typography and Design
The ELLA ticker symbol, used alongside the logo in trading and wallet contexts, is rendered in standard uppercase lettering consistent with cryptocurrency ticker conventions. The project’s official documentation does not specify a dedicated brand typeface or detailed typographic system [7]. The logo itself functions primarily as a standalone icon, with the wordmark appearing separately in textual contexts rather than as part of a combined lockup.
