We're proud to reveal the logo for CoMaps — designed and chosen by the community.

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 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.

Does this work with android auto?

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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

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 2 weeks 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

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.

[-] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[-] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

Why not let a graphics designer do it?

(Just curious)

[-] threeganzi@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

Anyone was welcome to submit suggestions, including graphic designers.

[-] oleg_rswll@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks 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.
