Each application or website that wants to be serious it adds to its branding a symbol or something to distinguish from the others. And I am glad that for CoinGecko that is a curious seal. How can you just not love a beautiful curious seal which looks at you with those eyes...You just cannot and I must say that I like quite a lot this brand.
Seals are pretty interesting creatures which live their most of the life in water as we do in the world of cryptocurrencies. When they live on the land they stand in huge colonies as we all follow at once huge movements in the crypto market. Seal can hold their breath for 2 hours under the water, as we also can do when there is a bull run like nowadays with Bitcoin reaching 6800$. The worst enemies for seals are the orca, which like in our world would be the big whales moving artificially the price in one direction or the other. Bottom line... we are all seals in the crypto world!
Maybe it is, maybe it is not, but for me the CoinGecko brand looks alike a curious seal!
