Verge (ticker: XVG) is an open-source, privacy-focused cryptocurrency that was launched in 2014 under the name DogeCoinDark and rebranded as Verge Currency in 2016.[1][2] The project’s visual identity centers on a distinctive geometric symbol rendered in a bright blue tone, with the official brand color identified as Picton Blue, hex code #37BDE2.[1]
Design and History
The Verge mark consists of a stylized triangular or chevron-like symbol, slightly tilted to the right, with subtly curved edges that give it a sense of depth.[3] The design is minimal and unadorned, with no additional decorative elements. The symbol is frequently paired with the wordmark “VERGE” in a clean, straightforward typeface.
The identity traces its roots to October 2014, when the project was created as DogeCoinDark, a fork of Peercoin.[4] In February 2016, the project was renamed Verge as part of a rebranding effort.[4][5] The rebrand was intended to distance the project from its earlier association with Dogecoin and establish a distinct identity for the privacy-focused currency.
In July 2026, the official Verge Core source code repository included a commit updating the project to a new logo icon, indicating a recent refresh of the visual identity.[6] The specific details of this update are not documented in the available sources.
Meaning and Symbolism
Verge’s official brand color is Picton Blue (#37BDE2), a bright cyan-blue tone.[1] The geometric symbol is described by third-party sources as a stylized “V” that doubles as a shield or forward-facing arrow, suggesting protection and progress.[7] However, the project itself has not published an official explanation of the symbol’s meaning, and these interpretations remain unofficial.
Typography and Design
The Verge wordmark uses a clean, sans-serif typeface that balances readability with a modern, technical character. The typography is designed to support the brand identity without competing with the geometric symbol. No official brand guidelines detailing the exact typeface or construction rules have been published in the available sources.
