Yasuo Kuroki was a Japanese graphic designer and Sony’s in-house designer who created the iconic Sony logo in 1973. Working under Akio Morita and Norio Ohga, Kuroki refined earlier logos from 1955, emphasizing simplicity and modernity. His minimalist design, featuring clean typography, became a globally recognized symbol of Sony’s innovation. Kuroki’s work focused on clarity and timelessness, contributing to Sony’s brand identity. His logo remains largely unchanged, a testament to its enduring impact. n 1984, Sony launched a worldwide competition inviting designs for a new logo. Nearly 30,000 entries poured in, and the company awarded the prize money as promised. However, Sony ultimately decided to stick with their original logo, running an ad in *TIME* magazine to politely say, “Thanks, but no thanks.” If you are building a #Bitcoin or #nostr project and you are looking for a handcrafted logo that will stand the test of time - reach out to @TeamToxic #logo #brand #design

We build brands and design logos for #Bitcoin only projects. Here’s our new logo we made for the 3rd anniversary of the @BitcoinWalk - a decentralised walking meetup that gathers Bitcoiners for a walk #everySAT (that’s every Saturday) currently in over 40 cities! We’ve got new projects in the pipeline because our mission is to make Bitcoin brands that last forever! #StayToxic 👊

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.” —Antoine de Saint-Exupéry The vast and endless sea is the ocean of possibilities that bitcoin & nostr open up. The ships are the tools @Sovereign Engineering are going to build; the wood is the software they’re going to write. Each ship needs a bandera and @TeamToxic takes pride in designing the logo and building the brand for this awesome initiative. We develop logos for bitcoin & nostr projects that will last forever. #brand #logo #design
