When Lombard launched in June 2024, the goal was simple: introduce liquid bitcoin staking, attract users, and validate our thesis that people want to do more with their Bitcoin. Our early brand did exactly what it needed to do.

One year later, Lombard has outgrown its launch identity. We’re no longer just a single-product protocol — we’re the foundation for Bitcoin capital markets, powering permissionless finance with the world’s hardest money.

A few months ago, we took a step back and asked: what should Lombard look and feel like now? What kind of brand signals credibility to institutions, sparks curiosity in innovators, and feels at home at the center of Bitcoin’s next chapter?

This refreshed identity is our answer.

From a quick go-to-narket to a long-term vision

Back in 2024, our brand was built quickly by design. It worked. It helped us move fast, build trust, and launch LBTC onchain, and make Bitcoin liquid at scale. But since then, we’ve achieved so much:

• $1B in 92 days: LBTC became the fastest-growing yield-bearing token in crypto history — now over $2B.
• Kickstarted Bitcoin DeFi: LBTC integrations with Aave, Morpho, Maple, Pendle, Ether.fi, and EigenLayer brought Bitcoin into the DeFi mainstream.
• Backed by institutions: Lombard’s Security Consortium includes OKX, Galaxy, Wintermute, DCG, and more — proving institutional conviction for decentralized Bitcoin.
• Blueprint for Bitcoin DeFi: Over 80% of LBTC is active in DeFi. Vaults have deployed $600M across ecosystems like Berachain ($350M) and TAC ($100M).

As our product suite evolves to have multiple Bitcoin derivatives, and powerful middleware for the ecosystem to integrate Bitcoin, we need a brand that evolves with us — and with you.

A brand built to hold a growing suite of products, stay memorable, and earn the trust of institutions and power users betting big on Bitcoin.

How we built it — from the inside out

The brand you see today was built almost entirely in-house.

We started with a ‘brand jam’: a collaborative Figma board where we mapped out everything from what Lombard stands for to how we want people to feel when they see our name. From there, our internal design, marketing, and product teams worked hand-in-hand to shape the system. The brand identity, new website, and messaging is all built by the people who know Lombard best.

We brought in external talent for just two things: the illustrations and templates for social media cards. Everything else — concept, creative direction, design, dev — was built by the core Lombard team.

This process let us create something deeply aligned with who we are. Every element has a reason. Every visual choice supports the narrative.

The Big Idea: The Brand that Makes Bitcoin Move

Lombard’s new look is built around a simple idea:

Bringing Bitcoin to Life.

This shows up everywhere in our new design language, from the way we use shapes and typography to the way we frame photography. We wanted a brand that feels professional and trustworthy, but still full of life and movement. Because that’s what Bitcoin should be.

The design, explained: Go hard or go home

Colors

We’re embracing a bright capital green as the primary colour— bold, confident, energetic. It signals liquidity and momentum. It’s unmistakably Lombard — and it stops people mid-scroll on X, and heads at conferences.

Logo

We kept our original icon — the infinity-inspired mark that many already recognize as unique (some also see the L and B in the design). But we tightened the wordmark to feel more architectural and purposeful.

Typography

Our new font, Archivo, is bold, structured, and modern. It’s easy to read, easy to scale, and gives us a strong visual presence wherever we show up.

Graphic elements: squares & circles

We use geometry to tell our story.

• Squares = structure, systems, platforms. Rooted in our logo. They repeat, tile, and create order.
• Circles = tokens, people, energy. They add softness, movement, and emotion.

Used together, they let us balance grid and grace. Logic and life. That’s the balance we’re striking.

Photography with a point of view

Most crypto brands use illustrations or abstract shapes. We’re doing things differently and have introduced photography, treated in black and white and with a grain.

Our photography is all about motion. People walking, running, traveling, moving forward. It brings a realness to our story and helps us show (not just tell) that Bitcoin isn’t meant to sit still.

Marketing site vs. product platform

What you see on the Lombard site is different from what you’ll see in the App — and that’s intentional.

Our website is about storytelling and showcasing the Lombard Stack, team and mission. It’s meant to capture your attention.

The platform, on the other hand, is about usability, speed, and trust. It’s clean, minimal, and focused on helping you get things done.

Built to grow — with Lombard, with Bitcoin, and with you

This brand evolution is about creating something timeless, flexible, and clear. Something that can scale as Lombard launches new Bitcoin products, supports more builders, and welcomes more users.

Thanks for being part of the journey so far. Now let’s build the next chapter together.
