Five and a half years ago I made this post on Bitcointalk.org about how I thought Ł should be used as the litecoin symbol. You see, back then the litecoin logo looked like this:
Myself, being a graphic designer thought this too vague and unclear. Litecoin needed a strong identity, a highly recognizable sigil to anchor it's place as one of the founding cryptocurrencies. How did I choose Ł? I simply opened up my computer's character map and thought it looked the best!
The symbol I originally chose was adopted by the community and even though the actual logo is not of my own design, I am proud to have picked the core visual identity for an entity with an over $3 billion market cap.
