Hana is Shiba?
The Inspiration for the SHIB Logo at the core of
our story is Hana, the Shiba Inu named by Paradox
Designer as the primary inspiration for the iconic
Shiba Inu logo that defines the SHIB memecoin.
Launched in August 2020 by the anonymous founder
Ryoshi, SHIB emerged as a decentralized experiment
inspired by Dogecoin, growing into a
multibillion-dollar ecosystem powered by the
SHIBArmy and the Shibarium blockchain. Paradox’s
choice of Hana as the muse for the logo wasn’t
random—her spirited charm and quintessential Shiba
Inu traits embody the loyalty, agility, and
boldness that resonate with the crypto community.
Hana was explicitly cited by Paradox as the
creative spark, making her a foundational piece of
SHIB’s visual identity and historical
significance.
HANA ,
Hana, a Shiba breed dog, was born on March 15,
2016.
HANA is more than just a meme token — she’s the
living soul of the Shiba Inu story. Tied deeply to
the origins of SHIB, DOGE, and meme coin culture,
Hana represents a real connection to the breed,
the art, and the people who helped launch an
entire movement.
