Forbole is a Hong Kong-based blockchain infrastructure company founded in 2017 by Kwun Yeung and Terence Lam. The company operates validators, node operators, sequencers and RPC services across more than 30 blockchain networks. Its visual identity consists of a wordmark, a logomark for space-limited contexts, and a stylized icon for social media and chip-style applications, as documented in the company’s official press kit.

Design and History
Forbole’s official press kit describes three distinct brand elements. The primary wordmark should be used consistently in all references to the company to ensure clear, uniform branding. The logomark serves as an alternative when space is limited or for logo-only displays, though the company notes the wordmark generally carries more brand recognition. A third element, the stylized icon, is intended for contexts where Forbole is referenced as a company, such as social media profiles or chip-style designs, ideally with a suitable corner radius for aesthetic coherence.

The company name itself derives from a combination of “four,” representing a core philosophy, and “bole,” a Mandarin word for someone who can identify talent. The founders’ original vision was to build a social network protocol where individuals could identify and refer talents to businesses using blockchain. [3]
Meaning and Symbolism
Forbole’s primary brand color is red. This is documented in the company’s own account of its Big Dipper blockchain explorer, which features a distinctive red theme described as a direct reference to Forbole’s primary brand color. [4] [3]
