Gm Forum Dashers! 
It’s Simion again, aka bmd / Black Mirror Designer. Happy that our first proposal on DashCentral.org passed and we can move to phase 2 — our first collaboration with our creative teams.
We’re here to launch a fresh wave of blue content that flows like the ocean, inspired by the most beautiful beaches, to elevate Dash’s tertiary branding elements—think colors, patterns, motion graphics, and infographics.
This isn’t about the logo; it’s about fueling what’s happening right now in our community and visualizing the Dash ecosystem as a universe of products, where every dApp, every project built on Dash, and every partnership shines in this cohesive, inviting blue vibe.
The Vision: Dash is more than a cryptocurrency—it’s a universe of endless possibilities, and we’re the creators of its fresh blue identity. Here’s what we’re crafting:
Color Palette: Oceanic blues that reflect depth, calm, and infinite potential.
Patterns & Textures: Wave-like designs that ripple through every visual.
Motion Graphics: Animations that bring the ecosystem to life, flowing like waves across a digital shore.
Infographics: Visual maps of the Dash universe—wallets, dApps, partnerships—infographically described and connected in one seamless flow.
Picture this: every developer is a creator in this Web3 "universe", building products that appear in our ocean of deep blue colors. Projects built on Dash, or partnering with us in any way, will pop up in this visual ecosystem, making it easy for the community to see the big picture and dive in.
Why It Matters?
The DAO treasury is our black dragon’s cave, hoarding 7919 DASH this epoch and sharing its gold with us. Our team’s asking for just 189 DASH/month for 3 months—less than 3% of the total—these funds will activate 2 teams of creators around the world, finally helping Dash look pretty again. #MDPA — Make Dash Pretty Again!
Here’s why it’s worth it:
Fueling the Community: A unified, fresh blue vibe makes Dash irresistible to devs and users alike.
Visualizing the Ecosystem: Infographics will showcase Dash's ecosystem products and partnerships, turning complexity into clarity.
Inspiring Creation: Each developer becomes a wave-maker in this universe, sparking more innovation.
This is about creating a visual language that flows through everything Dash touches, inviting everyone to jump into our ocean of possibilities.
How We’ll Roll It Out
Dash Forum: This full proposal, where you can engage, share ideas, and tell us what can be improved.
Dash Central: Weekly updates with fresh creations—short, sweet, and to the point.
Discord: Daily concepts in the #brainstorm channel for real-time collab.
Socials (X, Reddit): We’ll post and repost to spread awareness—help us amplify the wave!
We want people to see our marvelous color and dive deep into the Dash Ocean universe. This is a community-driven journey—your feedback will shape it.
What We’re Doing — Specific Actions: We’re not just tweaking a color palette or tossing out a few fonts. This is a full branding overhaul delivering tangible, reusable materials that anyone in the Dash community can pick up and use.
Here’s what we’re creating:
Social Media Templates:
Plug-and-play designs for all Dash socials—X.com (Twitter) banners, YouTube thumbnails, Discord server layouts, even presentation decks. These won’t just look dope; they’ll be modular, meaning anyone can reuse them in tools like Canva or Photoshop to rep Dash with a consistent, polished vibe.
Brand Book:
— A detailed guide to glue everything together visually. This includes:
— Color Schemes: A fresh wave of oceanic blues that flow across every platform.
— Typography: Modern, readable fonts that work everywhere—social posts, websites, apps.
— Iconography: Custom icons for products, marketing, and dApps.
— Motion Graphics: Slick animations for video intros, outros, and social clips.
— Infographic Styles: Visual templates to map out the Dash ecosystem (more on that below).
Style Guides for Products & dApps:
— We’re building guides for developers to apply this branding across all levels:
• Level 0 (Core): Dash wallets and foundational products.
• Layer 1 & 2: dApps, sidechains, and future innovations.
These guides will include dark theme options and be reusable, so every project feels like it’s part of the Dash universe.
One thing about the Dash logo:
We’re not touching the logo—this is about amplifying the tertiary branding elements to tie everything together with a fresher, breezier look that builds on the existing brandbook but takes it to the next level.
The Result:
A Unified, Fresh Dash Ecosystem!
Here’s what this delivers for Dash:
Consistency Across All Levels:
From core wallets (Level 0) to Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions, every product will share a visual language.
That “breeze of colors” you mentioned? It’s a wave of blue that flows through wallets, socials, and dApps, making Dash instantly recognizable.
Reusable Tools for Everyone:
These templates and guides aren’t one-offs—they’re modular and scalable. Whether you’re a marketer slapping together a X (Twitter) post or a dev coding a dApp, you’ll have assets that look pixel-perfect and fit the brand out of the box.
Ecosystem Clarity:
The infographics will map out Dash’s universe—core products, dApps, partnerships—in a way that’s easy to grasp. New users and devs will see how everything connects, all wrapped in that fresh, breezy style.
This isn’t just a facelift; it’s a toolkit that empowers the community to create on-brand content effortlessly. It builds on the previous brandbook but pushes it further with a modern, unified look that screams Dash—speed, privacy, and decentralization—while staying approachable.
Budget & Timeline
Duration: 3 months
Monthly Cost: 189 DASH (~$5,000 at $26.47/DASH)
Total: 567 DASH (~$15,000)
Funds will support my team, Voronoi Studio, and Almaz as we craft this oceanic masterpiece.
Timeline: What You’ll See and When
We’re not dropping this all at once in three months. Instead, we’re rolling out deliverables month by month with community feedback baked in:
Month 1:
— Research, prototypes, sketches, ideas, brainstorming session. Get ready, prepare the umbrella and some popcorn. Yeah, not the best combo.
— Infographic templates to visualize our Dash ecosystem.
— First Brand book iterations—color palette, typography, and basic icon set.
— First batch of cover images for social media templates (X, Reddit, YouTube).
Month 2:
— Full social media suite (Discord layouts, presentation decks, cover images for Reddit, X.com, YouTube etc.).
— Infographic templates to visualize the ecosystem, products. dApps, partners and teams that are working right now.
— Motion graphics—think animated intros/outros for videos. Intros for live streams, outros, "taking a break" screen and so on.
— YouTube short 2-3m video with the new graphics visualizing the change and refresh of our branding talking about the story and price change of all the important L1 coins.
Month 3:
— Full Brand book drops—final guides and rules, color palette, typography, and final icon set.
— dApp style guide, most popular components, buttons, cards, hero section, small UI components including dark theme for our dark theme lovers (Doc i'm talking about you).
— Homepage landing page redesign.
— Organised Figma files with all the components for dApps builders.
And we’ll be open for feedback threads on the Dash Forum and Discord #
-brainstorm chat. This way, we’re building with you, not just for you.
Let’s Flow Together Dashers, this is our shot to show the world what Dash can be—a universe of products and possibilities, flowing like the ocean in a fresh wave of deep blue colors. Vote yes, and we’ll build a branding ecosystem that pulls everyone in.
Got questions? Hit me up here or on Discord. (here is the join link if you're still not there, or if your Qwizzie that left the server after we updated the channel names with emoji, come back @qwizzie we miss u: https://discord.gg/rCsG8jUr )
