PROJECT The Sia rebrand repositions the 10-year-old protocol from a crypto niche to a mission-driven network.

At its core is the shard—a stylised symbol of Sia’s architecture. As files enter the network, they’re split, encrypted and globally distributed as shards. This “shredding” process is central to Sia’s design: privacy, by default.

The three pixels in the logo represent these encrypted shards—minimalist yet meaningful. The shard icon also echoes an exponent symbol, hinting at Sia’s growing ecosystem of apps, protocols, and projects.

The visual system builds on this logic: a modular shard-based pattern system, pixelated imagery that reflects encryption, grounded neutrals with vibrant colours for the shards, and a confident typographic voice.
