The Ethereum symbol was designed by a graphic designer named Laura Santos. The design of the symbol is meant to represent the Ethereum network and its focus on smart contracts and decentralized applications. The symbol is a combination of the Greek letter “Ξ”, which represents the Ethereum network, and an icon that represents the platform’s focus on smart contracts. The Ethereum symbol is widely recognized and is commonly used in the cryptocurrency and blockchain communities to represent the Ethereum network and its associated cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH).
