IOHK Redesigns Cardano With Brand Refresh, Releases Updated ADA Roadmap

Academia-driven blockchain project Cardano announced earlier this week a major redesign of its brand and roadmap, incorporating a new aesthetic drawn from organic structures inspired by the creative efforts of the Cardano community.

The Cardano brand redesign was catalyzed in January when IOHK founder and former Ethereum CEO Charles Hoskinson shared a video with the IOHK creative team.

Drawing from data available via GitHub, the video provides a clear, effective insight into the Cardano project's activity since inception and demonstrates that for a long time, Cardano was the busiest blockchain project in the industry.

As the IOHK design team had already launched a project to refresh the Cardano brand, the IOHK team decided to adopt the aesthetic provided by the Cardano development visualization video.

With the assistance of creative minds from the Cardano community, the IOHK team reworked the Cardano roadmap and leveraged the technology behind the video - Gource - to make it available via each Cardano website.

The newly-refreshed Cardano roadmap incorporates a number of design improvements.

The roadmap now provides a countdown to the next report, with a weekly technical report and links to the Cardano community.

Cardano Technical Development Powers Ahead. The technical elements of the Cardano project are also pushing forward, with the technical team releasing a rapid-fire spate of updates.

The launch of a series of testnets and the early 2018 collaboration between Cardano and another blockchain project - Zencash - has made Cardano one of the more active blockchain projects in the industry.

The Cardano team has also been making steady progress on the Daedelus wallet - a release published in late May saw the addition of paper wallet functionality to the wallet, as well as asynchronous wallet restoration and a range of minor ease of use improvements.
