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

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!
neat!
Can some1 pls give me a tldrd (too long didnt read drama) of the organic maps vs copmaps situation?
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.
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).
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 voted for the needle logo. I am sad it did not win.
Excellent. One of the ones I was hoping for. Clean and pretty nifty.
Congrats!
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.
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 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.
That’s perfect. Thanks!
Yes. They are going to replace the ? with the new logo: https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/pulls/862
I forgot to vote but that’s the one I was going to vote for 😂
Not one of the 2 I would have preferred but fine
Cool
Nice.
