Cyanogen Inc., the company formed to oversee the continued development of CyanogenMod, announced new branding today. While they promise the character of Cid will continue to be used, especially in reference to the community of CyanogenMod supporters, a new logo was revealed in the announcement. Cyanogen says the new logo is meant to invoke the idea of “tools and building” as the project is intended to help users create a smartphone experience that is unique to them.

The Cyanogen team explained the meaning behind some of the other elements in the logo. The center symbolizes the importance of the user who is at the center of the efforts. The left portion of the outer ring forms a “C” meant to symbolize the importance of community. The right portion of the outer ring makes an arrow intended to symbolize forward progress.
