KickEX is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that emerged from the Kick Ecosystem, which originally started as the KickICO fundraising platform in 2017. The exchange launched on 25 May 2020 and is based in Tallinn, Estonia. It positions itself as a low-fee trading platform with dedicated iOS and Android applications. [1] [2]
Design and History
The KickEX wordmark and accompanying visual identity were introduced alongside the exchange’s launch in 2020. The brand was developed as part of the broader Kick Ecosystem, which had already established a presence in the cryptocurrency space through its earlier KickICO fundraising platform. [2] [1]
The trademark for KICKEX was registered on 29 July 2021, with the owner listed as “КИК ЭКОСИСТЕМ ГЛОБАЛ” СИА (Kick Ecosystem Global SIA). [3] The Russian entity ООО “КИК ЭКОСИСТЕМА” (Kick Ecosystem LLC) is listed as the developer of the KickEX mobile application. [4]
The exchange’s marketing materials emphasize its positioning as “the exchange with the lowest trading fees on the market” and highlight its mobile apps for iOS and Android as a core part of the user experience. [5] The brand identity was designed to support this mobile-first approach, with the logo appearing across app store listings, the exchange website, and comparison platforms.
Meaning and Symbolism
The exchange’s public materials focus on functional attributes such as low fees, fast growth, and mobile accessibility rather than explaining the visual meaning of the logo. [5] [4]
Typography and Design
The KickEX wordmark uses a bold, modern letterform treatment that is visible in the exchange’s app icon and website header. The logo was designed to work across multiple contexts, including square app icons, horizontal website headers, and small-scale trading pair listings. [4] The specific typeface used in the wordmark has not been publicly disclosed, and no official documentation identifies the designer or agency responsible for the brand identity.
