Every color is named after one of our favorite NFT projects / Web3 startups including Orange DAO 🧡Here’s the backstory...The ideaWe wanted to create an NFT that was designed to be gifted vs. just collected or used in a game. I’m obsessed with candy hearts, especially the SweeTARTS Candy ones. We thought a "digital candy heart" would be fun for Valentine’s Day.SweeTARTS candy heartsThe nameWe went back in forth on the following names...ValentokenSweetheartzCryptoheartsScott Hickle and other friends shared that overuse of what is (token, crypto, fungible, etc.) was getting old so we went with Sweetheartz.The styleEverything was designed around the heart. We first tried a realistic candy heart. The font felt awkward and it was difficult to remix. So we went with the more digital style.The heart messagesOG candy heart messages (be mine, true love, say yes) was our original plan. Then we thought it would be fun to add a few Web3 messages. What started out as a short list... turned into a Google sheet of +200 Web3 strings. Most messages were inspired by:@mikedemarais, @damedoteth & 🌈 crew@VitalikButerin soulbound ❤️@cdixon token@dhof on chain@drckangelo’s web3 terms@MilkRoadDaily newsletter#NFT hashtag & many others@kylemccollom proof reading 🙏The colorsOG Valentine’s Day colors was our original plan... Then we thought some rare colors would be cool... Then we thought it would be cool to name every color after our favorite NFT/Web3 projects. We ended up with ~45 heart colors and ~40 backgrounds including:@AzukiZen red@newshadesDAO pink@opensea blue@a16z purple@rainbowdotme rainbow@LinksDAO green@decentraland dirt@lootproject blackhttps://twitter.com/QuickNode/status/1491454619566100480Rare itemsWhat’s a good NFT without some rarity? We took inspiration from photos of heart tattoos and Valentine’s Day crafts on Pinterest. We ended up with ~11 different rare attributes including:Wraps (wings)Headwear (halo)Finishes (broken)The websiteOur goal was an NFT that was meant to be gifted. Paying gas 2x to mint + send isn’t a good experience. We made the site so that you could mint directly to your Valentine's wallet.
