OpenMined Logo

Logo for a community creating open-source tools enabling people and organizations to answer questions in data that they cannot see.

The first symbol in our logo is the central gem in an open box. This gem represents our offering. We gift each person a secure box, or a Mine, to hold their personal information. Users can bury their most valuable secrets into this Mine away from prying eyes and malicious intent. However, simply burying that data is not enough. In the modern digital age, data is power. In that data lies the power to cure disease, to provide for the poor, and to fight and win against evil and injustice. A user’s data has great opportunity to create good when it is used in the right way for the right purpose.

The second symbol in our logo is an aperture surrounding the gem. This feature mimics the protective entities that surround the Mine in such a way that personal information is safeguarded, but statistical information can be used to train artificial intelligence models — putting the right intelligence in the right place at the right time to promote worldwide societal growth and betterment, all within the discretion and control of each Mine’s owner.

Finally, the color scheme and the outline of the logo alludes to the practice of “holding hands” across a full range of color. This symbolizes the highest calling of OpenMined: to bridge trust between all peoples for the collective construction of decentralized intelligence to serve the interests of society regardless of color, creed, or class.

The logo was created by myself in colaboration with the OpenMined Team.
