Today, NymVPN announces a brand new logo. With the strongest privacy-preserving technology available, NymVPN protects you from governments and companies that spy on you and steal your data without consent, like a layer shrouding your digital world.
It is for this reason that the new logo shows a solar eclipse in motion - an elegant, flat design that, like the moon obscuring the fearsome rays of the Sun, shields you against even the most powerful forces.
NymVPN doesn’t merely move trust from your ISP to your VPN provider like traditional VPNs, it is decentralized and protects the patterns of your communication from surveillance too. With its interweaving orbs and an elliptical spot of darkness where they intersect, this logo communicates that NymVPN protects you from nefarious interlopers and unwanted third parties.
Additionally, the logo could be viewed as a kind of cylinder, representing the encrypted ‘tunnel’ connection when using a VPN.
We found that the eclipse was not only clear in its literal sense, but held powerful symbolic meaning too, enshrouding the Earth in darkness even as the sun blazes. Elsewhere, Nym has previously used a globe icon to represent the internet and so the eclipse is a natural evolution of this analogy, breathing new meaning into Nym and the NymVPN brand.
Iterating through the design concept, we found that the new NymVPN logo and its simple overlapping shapes worked very clearly with bold clean lines visible even in smaller sizes.
NymVPN: bringing mixnet technology to life
NymVPN is the culmination of years of academic experience and research by Nym into mixnets, the highly novel, decentralized privacy technology that makes tracking metadata impossible.
With its two-hop dVPN mode optimizing for privacy and speed for everyday browsing, or the 5-hop mixnet mode for complete privacy protection including metadata, NymVPN puts this advanced technology in the hands of users with a market-ready application for the very first time, all designed for convenience, simplicity, and usability - with a logo to match these principles.
