Status is an open-source messaging platform and mobile interface for interacting with decentralized applications built on the Ethereum network. Its token, SNT, is an ERC-20 utility token used for governance and access to services within the Status ecosystem. The Status logo is used across the app, website, and cryptocurrency exchanges to represent both the platform and its token.
Design and History
The Status logo was designed to represent the interaction and communication at the core of the platform. According to a community discussion on the official Status forum, the symbol is described as “the convergence of chat bubbles, Ethereum logo and the letter ‘S’.” The logo has been used across all Status mediums and is listed on dozens of cryptocurrency exchanges. The same forum post notes that the logo had been in place long enough that any change would carry significant implications for the brand. [1]
In 2025, a commit to the Status desktop repository referenced “update icons to use the new multicoloured Status logo,” indicating that the current mark incorporates a multicolor palette. [2]
Meaning and Symbolism
The official brand assets page describes the logo’s conceptual basis as combining three elements: chat bubbles (representing the messenger function), the Ethereum logo (representing the blockchain foundation), and the letter “S” (representing the Status name). This convergence reflects the platform’s dual role as both a communication tool and a gateway to Ethereum-based decentralized applications. [1]
Typography and Design
Status publishes official brand assets, including logo files with typography in multiple versions, mark-only versions, and other variants. The brand’s main colors are documented on the official brand page as Dark (#09101c), White (#ffffff), and Blue (#2a4af5). The brand also defines a set of custom accent colors including Purple, Orange, Army, Turquoise, Sky, Yellow, Pink, Copper, Camel, and Magenta. [3]
In a 2018 forum discussion about brand identity, the Inter UI typeface (the Inter font family) was referenced in connection with Status’s design system. [1]
