MediShares (MDS) is a blockchain-based mutual insurance marketplace built on the Ethereum platform, combining the traditional mutual insurance model with blockchain and smart contracts to provide low operation costs and guaranteed compensation for risks [1]. The project’s native token, MDS, is an ERC-20 token used to incentivize participation in the network and validation of insurance claims [1][2].
Design and History
MediShares launched its whitepaper and system design in Q4 2017 [3]. The project’s visual identity centers on a square token icon, which is the format used across cryptocurrency exchanges and logo directories for the MDS token [4][5]. The logo is available in PNG and SVG formats through multiple crypto logo repositories [4][2].
The project’s whitepaper focuses on the technical and operational aspects of the mutual insurance platform rather than brand identity [3]. As a result, the specific design history of the mark remains undocumented in publicly available sources.
Meaning and Symbolism
While the project’s name combines “medi” (referring to medical) with “shares” (referring to shared mutual aid), this naming connection is not formally explained in the available whitepaper or exchange listings [3][1].
Typography and Design
The logo is distributed primarily as a token icon in standard square formats across crypto platforms, with the MDS ticker symbol serving as the primary identifier in exchange listings [4][5]. No official brand guidelines, color specifications, or typography documentation have been published by the project.
