Wanchain is a decentralised blockchain interoperability project that builds crosschain bridges to connect separate blockchain networks. Its visual identity centers on a geometric emblem registered as a trademark by the Wanchain Foundation Limited, a non-profit organization registered in Singapore. [1] [2]
Design and History
The Wanchain logo is a geometric symbol described in official trademark records as “an incomplete hexagon with a broken line in the middle.” The mark was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office by the Wanchain Foundation Limited and registered under number 6164537. The trademark classification notes the design falls under “incomplete polygons and polygons made of broken or dotted lines” as well as “polygons with bars.” [1]
Separate trademark filings in Taiwan from 2018 also cover the Wanchain emblem and the Chinese name “萬維鏈” (Wanwei Chain), both registered to the Wanchain Foundation Limited. These filings confirm the emblem has been in continuous use as the organization’s identifying mark since at least 2018. [3] [4]
In 2022, Wanchain released a redesigned official website. The project team described the new site as having a greatly improved visual style, though the announcement focused on content organization and positioning rather than a logo change. [5]
Meaning and Symbolism
The Wanchain name derives from “Wide Area Network chain,” and the project’s stated mission is to drive blockchain adoption through crosschain interoperability and seamless connectivity between siloed networks. [6] The incomplete hexagon form in the logo is consistent with the project’s positioning as a bridge between distinct blockchain networks, though no official source provides a documented interpretation of the symbol’s meaning beyond its registered description.
Typography and Design
Wanchain’s official website pairs the geometric emblem with the wordmark “Wanchain” in a clean sans-serif typeface. The project’s brand assets, as catalogued by Brandfetch, include the logo in both full and icon-only formats. [6] No official brand guidelines publicly document a specific typeface or exact color specification for the identity.
