Nimiq Logo ​

Welcome to the Nimiq design definition page. The identity has been redefined by carefully selecting colours, typography and shapes to show how powerful, useful & simple Nimiq products are.

The History ​

The Nimiq logo has evolved gradually over time, but the hexagon shape and wordmark have been constant elements in its design.

The Logo ​

The Nimiq logo is a plain hexagon – with rounded corners and a subtle golden radial gradient. That’s it. It’s an ecosystem-first logo. In its simplicity, it leaves enough room for others to build on. It’s not just a logo in the traditional sense, but rather a symbol – a boilerplate intended to be varied and reproduced.

Clear space ​

To ensure that the logo has enough room to breathe, we apply a fixed clear space around it. This space should always be safeguarded, unless there is no way to avoid encroaching upon it.

For the horizontal variant the clear space is the size of the letter N in our wordmark.

Horizontal logo

Special use cases ​

It´s very unlikely you´ll need these, but we like to cover all the bases

Nimiq Logo ​

Use only where space constraints don´t allow use of the horizontal logo.

Small-scale logo ​

A specific small horizontal logo to use at a size between ??px and ??px wide. And the small vertical logo to use at a size between ??px and ??px wide. The small logo mark should be used at a size between ??px and ??px wide.

Logo extention ​

In case of logo-extensions, we use a white base and apply an opacity-gradient from the top-right edge to the bottom left edge of the shape, with a color-stop at about 60%.

Backgrounds ​

These are different versions of the logo to use depending on your background.

Full-color logo ​

Our go-to version. Use it only with these backgrounds.

One-color logo ​

You've got one option: that’s white. Use this only on photographs and color backgrounds within the Nimiq color palette. You can find those gradiants in the Nimig Design Kit in the figma link below. On aubergine backgrounds, we strongly prefer to use the full-color logo. If there are design limitations, then the logo should appear in white on aubergine.
