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.
Excellent. One of the ones I was hoping for. Clean and pretty nifty.
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
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.
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!
Can some1 pls give me a tldrd (too long didnt read drama) of the organic maps vs copmaps situation?
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).
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?
A few, but they are also few.
Yes.
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.
I like it, though just the text was kinda growing on me

I forgot to vote but that’s the one I was going to vote for 😂
neat!
I voted for the needle logo. I am sad it did not win.
Does this work with android auto?
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.
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 [email protected]
They have “GoMaps Lego”? like, some navigation with lego render layer that turns everything into lego buildings… woah impressive! gonna see that… oh, my eyes needs sleep!
oh, that even wasn’t G
