From maps to code to design, CoMaps is 100% community-powered — and this logo is no different. It’s a symbol of what we’re building together: free, open, and offline map navigation for everyone.

The winning logo was created by @Flummic. The initial round had 21 logos submitted, resulting in 6 finalists, followed by an iteration process where people collaborated to make improvements (https://codeberg.org/comaps/Governance/issues/78).

Thank you to everyone who shaped this milestone. We’re just getting started.

I like it, though just the text was kinda growing on me

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 14 points 1 week ago

neat!

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

I think it's clever. You can see both the C and the O from Co in it, with the pointer inside indicating it's a mapping app, so it sort of spells out CoMaps as a logo

Like it, nothing too special, it doesn't have to be though. Its clean looking and i think most people will not hate it which is great!

I voted for the needle logo. I am sad it did not win.

Can some1 pls give me a tldrd (too long didnt read drama) of the organic maps vs copmaps situation?

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

OrganicMaps is tied to a small for-profit business.

Few people wrote an open letter asking for guarantees on the freedom of the project. It was overlooked.

Then the project was forked.

Few people or a few people?

[–] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Yes.

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 points 1 week ago

A few, but they are also few.

While portraying Organic Maps as a community-driven project, shareholders were making decisions behind closed doors - a Kayak ad affiliate link was added, parts of the open-source code was hidden, and shareholders are leaving the door open for selling the company and pocketing profit from contributor work (this would likely go the unfortunate route of Maps.Me).

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 1 points 1 week ago

I don't get it either. I use organic maps as my main map thing, and I don't get what happens here. It just works.

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

Congrats!

Nice. Are you going to replace the "?" icon in the app with the logo? I kinda wish that button would be removed to make the ui simpler/leaner.

[–] brunoqc@piefed.ca 3 points 1 week ago

That's perfect. Thanks!

[–] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 5 points 1 week ago

Yes. They are going to replace the ? with the new logo: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/pulls/862

Does this work with android auto?

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Organicmaps had support for it, so i dont see why it would have disappeared after the fork. I have no idea how android auto even works tho so idk lol

[–] QueenFern@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I can't get it to work running GrapheneOS, and I've tried all suggestions I could find anyway, including a hidden settings menu and downloading it from PlayStore instead of FDroid. Still can't get er going.

[–] oleg_rswll@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

It only works with Android Auto from the Play Store, it's a Google requirement. It's possible that GrapheneOS may have services turned off which are needed for it. We can help at support@comaps.app

[–] timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Excellent. One of the ones I was hoping for. Clean and pretty nifty.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Looks really nice. Good branding is so important. This will certainly help people get more people on board, but I hope it's even more than expected.

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

Not one of the 2 I would have preferred but fine

[–] ter_maxima@jlai.lu 2 points 1 week ago

I forgot to vote but that's the one I was going to vote for 😂

[–] sunglocto@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

[–] lemmyuser68@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

Cool

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Revolutionary

[–] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago

Why not let a graphics designer do it?

(Just curious)

[–] threeganzi@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Anyone was welcome to submit suggestions, including graphic designers.

[–] oleg_rswll@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

There is no graphic designer at CoMaps, anyone was welcome to submit a design, including designers, and a few of the logos in the first round were by designers.
