BTC.ART — rainbow gradient pixel wordmark

Overview

BTC.ART is the home of curated art on Bitcoin. The identity bridges two worlds: the systematic, deterministic nature of blockchain technology and the expressive energy of contemporary digital art.

The wordmark is set in a pixel typeface and rendered in a spectrum gradient — structure meets colour, code meets creativity.

Grid Construction

The wordmark is set in I pixel u — a typeface built on a strict pixel grid. Every letterform is constructed from uniform square units, giving the mark a systematic, engineered quality that echoes the deterministic logic of blockchain protocols.

Vertical Scale 100%
Colour Palette

The gradient spans the visible spectrum from crimson through to cyan — a reference to the full range of creative expression the platform enables. Applied as a continuous horizontal sweep, it transforms the rigid pixel grid into something luminous and alive.

# Hex Name
1 #FF363F Crimson
2 #FF711B Orange
3 #FFB600 Amber
4 #DEDE00 Lime
5 #95EE3B Emerald
6 #00E28F Teal
7 #01ABDF Cyan

The gradient does not follow individual letterforms — it flows through them as a continuous band, suggesting art that transcends its medium.

Letterforms

Each character is built from the same base pixel unit. The typeface's rigid constraints produce distinctive forms — the symmetrical counters in B and A, the minimal period glyph acting as the domain separator, and the open counter of C suggesting digital openness.

Glyph Character
B Mirrored counters. Heaviest glyph in the set.
T Crossbar + central stem. Architectural, symmetrical.
C Open counter on the right. Suggests digital openness.
. Single pixel unit. Pure signal — the domain separator.
A Open base with central crossbar.
R Closed upper counter with descending leg.
Variations

The wordmark is supplied in four treatments. The gradient version is the primary mark; mono versions are provided for contexts where colour reproduction is limited.

Mono black on white Mono white on black
Interactions

The brand gradient extends to interactive elements as a hover state — fill, text, or border — reinforcing the identity across all UI touchpoints.
