The new Nervos logo and branding designs were recently announced on Cointelegraph and to celebrate, we’re hosting a community design contest called #NervosSocietee to find the next great designs for the Nervos swag store.

But first, a little about why we’ve updated our branding…

The new Nervos branding and logo

Its been two years of huge growth at Nervos — the community-led launch of Lina and the Nervos CKB mainnet in 2019 were massive milestones. This year, we have been partnering with other projects and exchanges, bringing in developers, establishing incentive programs, and growing teams and projects to further expand our ecosystem.

With the foundations set, we are now ready to enter the broader market with a splash and an eye catching impression thanks to our brilliant new branding — But we want you to have a play with it and design us some stylish swag.
