Aegir CMS has a new logo

POZNAN, ESPOO, Dec 11th 2002

We are excited to announce that Aegir CMS has officially selected its new logo! After a successful community contest and voting process, we now have a distinctive visual identity for the project.

The Winner

The community has spoken, and we are pleased to present the new Aegir CMS logo. The winning design captures the maritime spirit of the Aegir name while maintaining a clean, professional appearance suitable for enterprise content management.

The logo features design elements that reflect both the project's Norse mythology roots and its modern, sophisticated approach to content management. It scales well from small icons to large format applications and works effectively in both color and monochrome.

About the Design

The winning logo embodies several key aspects of Aegir CMS:

  • Oceanic theme: Subtle wave or water elements reflecting the Aegir mythology
  • Professionalism: Clean lines and modern styling appropriate for business use
  • Accessibility: Easy to recognize and memorable
  • Versatility: Works across different media and sizes

Thanks to the Community

We want to extend our gratitude to:

  • All the talented designers who submitted proposals
  • Community members who participated in the voting process
  • Everyone who provided feedback and suggestions

The logo contest generated great community engagement and resulted in several excellent design options. The decision was difficult given the quality of submissions, but the community voting helped identify the design that best represents Aegir CMS.

Implementation

The new logo is being integrated into the project materials:

  • Website header and branding
  • Documentation and user guides
  • Download packages and installers
  • Project promotional materials

You'll see the new logo appearing throughout the Aegir CMS website and materials over the coming days.

Logo Usage

The Aegir CMS logo is available for use by community members, contributors, and users of the software. Guidelines for proper logo usage will be published on the website to ensure consistent representation of the project.

What's Next

With our new visual identity established, the project continues to move forward. We're working on:

  • Completing beta 3 with enhanced features and stability
  • Expanding documentation and tutorials
  • Growing the community of users and contributors
  • Preparing for the eventual 1.0 final release
