## CodiMD became HedgeDoc
With two actively named forks sharing the same name,
both [insisting on being the original/actual owner of the name CodiMD](https://github.com/hackmdio/codimd/issues/1219),
people became rightfully confused about the projects sharing the same name.
After roughly a year of being stuck on the name issue, the HedgeDoc community decided to take action and started
a [renaming process in April 2020](https://community.codimd.org/t/renaming-yet-another-time/102). With a good head start
in the amount of names, it was decided that an entire rebranding should take place and therefore, after
a [name was agreed on in July 2020](https://community.codimd.org/t/codimd-becomes-hedgedoc/170), the next step was
to [find a logo](https://community.codimd.org/t/time-to-find-the-hedgedoc-logo/171).
In November of 2020, roughly 7 months after the initiative was started, a logo was found, the rebranding of the
application as well as all community pages took place and the time of name conflicts was over. (hopefully.)
