Litecoin Cash (LCC) is a cryptocurrency that forked from Litecoin on 18 February 2018 at block 1371111, with a 10:1 claim ratio for Litecoin holders. The project switched to SHA256 proof-of-work hashing after the fork, enabling the use of previously obsolete Bitcoin mining hardware. The project’s official website is litecoinca.sh. [1]
Design and History
Litecoin Cash was created as a hard fork of Litecoin, with the stated goal of increasing block size and improving network throughput for faster, cheaper transactions. The project positions itself as an alternative to Bitcoin Cash, but built on Litecoin’s foundation. [2]
The project’s visual identity is managed by a design lead on the team, who is described as working to “hone our brand” alongside handling internal tools and services. [1]
The Litecoin Cash logo is available in SVG and PNG formats through various cryptocurrency logo repositories, and the project’s official website displays the mark prominently. [3] [1]
Meaning and Symbolism
The Litecoin Cash logo uses a green color scheme, a detail noted by observers of the cryptocurrency market. One community writer described being drawn to “the rather kind green colour of the Litecoin Cash logo” when reviewing mining candidates. [4]
As a fork of Litecoin, the Litecoin Cash identity draws on the naming convention of prefixing a forked blockchain with the original coin’s name. The project’s FAQ states: “We’re using the Litecoin Cash name simply because it has become customary in recent months for a coin which forks a blockchain to prefix its name with the name of the coin being forked.” [1]
Typography and Design
No official documentation is publicly available detailing the specific typography, exact color specifications, or designer attribution for the Litecoin Cash logo. The project’s design lead is credited with brand development, but no formal design documentation has been published. [1]
