The Worldcoin logomark and lockup are the primary identifiers for Worldcoin and should be used in conjunction with any and all communication materials involving Worldcoin. Below are the three main identifiers of Worldcoin.

Our logos are the primary identifier for Worldcoin and serve a critical role in establishing our identity.

The Worldcoin name and currency are often the most important point of contact with new audiences.

Currently, the longest-active Orb Operator in the world is based here. He has managed to sign up over eighteen- thousand users in a little over six months by running his operations like a business. He employs twenty people who work in shifts—at any given time, he has four people supporting his Orb operation. This allows him to keep his Orb active for eight hours a day, every day. His commitment to the project and its vision is astounding—while he normally operates out of Santiago, he aims to spread the project all throughout Chile, occasionally flying his team to smaller, more remote Chilean towns where he has had to secure special permission to operate and give away Worldcoin.

I wake up every day knowing that we are educating hundreds of people about the future of tech. It is a real honor to be able to give them access to a new financial system run by the people, not by centralized organizations like governments and banks. We're building Singapore in Chile…unlocking opportunities for everyone.

Though the core of the Worldcoin identity is grounded in black and white color plays a crucial role throughout the system. The following establishes the Worldcoin color palette as well as its intended uses.

Each color in the Worldcoin palette offers a unique use to both inform and accentuate our content.

The four Orb Operators in Sudan secure partnerships with coffee stores in Khartoum and strike deals with various Sudanese influencers to market Worldcoin. Each Operator runs a large team that, out of pure passion, works up to fourteen hours a day. On a busy day, people will often wait up to three hours to sign up. To support this demand, the Operators recently booked out the largest and most well-known venue in Khartoum, which has even hosted presidential speeches, to run an event at which they aim to sign up over a thousand people in a single day.

I get to meet new people every day and give them something that may benefit them in the future. We have suffered a lot financially here in Sudan, so getting a chance to add value to my community is really fulfilling.

This Operator has set up a team of  15 people, mostly local students, and ensures that they are well trained so that they can speak intelligently about Worldcoin and cryptocurrency in general. He has set up a digital platform for his employees so that they can easily book a time slot to use the Orb. He has also created a very detailed incentive system for his employees that rewards them for both additional employee referrals and performance in the field. He and his team operate around Paris’s famed Châtelet metro station, the biggest underground train station in the world.

There are two main reasons I believe the project will succeed: accessibility and equality. Worldcoin offers what has been missing in the crypto-sphere for a while now: equal opportunity to enter the world of DeFi for free. Worldcoin’s approach is simple and will give access to millions, if not billions of people.

Typography plays a crucial role within the Worldcoin identity reinforcing a trustworthy and informational tone.

For our content-driven communications typography is the key element that ties the system together.

At Worldcoin, life moves fast. We work in eight-week sprints and believe that intense, hard work is the only way to realize our goals. Our mission is ambitious, innovative, and inclusive—just like our people. Our employees are leaders in their respective fields, full of intellectual curiosity, and possess an insatiable appetite for improvement. For those interested in working at a rapidly growing company where one can change the world—surrounded by some of the smartest and most passionate innovators—Worldcoin is the place to be.

To accelerate the transition towards a more inclusive and prosperous global economy.

Worldcoin is a new global digital currency that will launch by giving a free share to every human on Earth.

The best performing Orb Operator is currently based here, signing up over thirty thousand users in a little over four months. In his first week as an Operator, he set the highest single weekly sign-up total (at the time). Since then, he has partnered with one of the biggest food delivery companies in the country to sign up its drivers, rented out a storefront in a shopping mall to capitalize on high foot-traffic, and even been invited to a nearby village to sign up all those who live there to Worldcoin. His time signing up the village was so successful that it resulted in eight other villages asking him to do the same.

Of course, I was highly motivated by the Worldcoin sign-up incentive scheme: I want to provide a better life for my family. But along the way, seeing people who don't have access to crypto - who don't even know this technology exists - makes me grateful to be a part of this project.

Elsewhere, we refer to this “unique identifier” as “IrisHash”, but for the sake of simplicity we here use “unique identifier”.

One of the Orb Operators in Kenya typically partners with universities to run sign-up events. He has assembled a team of over thirty people so far. At optimal capacity, he runs events six days a week, all at different universities. At each event, he signs up between three and four hundred people. As word of what he was doing spread, universities around the country began to invite him to their campuses, with some invitations even sent directly from the presidents of the university. To keep up with this ever-increasing demand, he will often run two events concurrently in different locations, splitting up his four Orbs to efficiently sign up more people.

Worldcoin has been an absolute eye-opener for me. It has been amazing to see cryptocurrency take off like this here in Kenya. Kenyans have been using mobile money for ages and see the possibility for Worldcoin to take things one step further: to help us become a cashless society. When it comes to people with no prior crypto knowledge, I love taking them through the history of cryptocurrency and explaining how Worldcoin will open up a whole new world for them. I do also like taking on the skeptics and the naysayers—I like the challenge!

A new, collectively owned global currency that will be distributed fairly to as many people as possible.

The Operator in Zimbabwe has built a large Worldcoin gazebo that he and his team carry to communities and centers around Zimbabwe, both in the capital of Harare and surrounding rural areas. He has also designed and produced various other Worldcoin products, such as handmade brochures explaining the project to each user, Worldcoin business cards that are all over the city, and even hundreds of multicolored hats embroidered with the Worldcoin logo that he gives out to certain significant signups. All of this has helped him achieve one of the highest daily signup rates per Orb.

I can empower marginalized communities of people who have never had the opportunity to be beneficiaries of life-changing startup ventures. This is an opportunity for me to be among the first in my country to create a system to include and represent everyone financially. I am confident that Worldcoin has been carefully implemented with the biometric scan to make sure everyone receives their share once. Nothing is as cool as this.
