System76 Share COSMIC DE Branding, Alpha Release Date
Quoting: System76 Share COSMIC DE Branding, Alpha Release Date - OMG! Ubuntu —
But every project needs branding. Fluff to a few, but an important signpost to most. Good branding helps encapsulate and convey the ideals and tone of a project, and lend it a unique identity people can instantly recognise and come to love.

Behold: the official COSMIC logo, work mark, slogan, and colours...

COSMIC Alpha coming in July - System76 reveal branding, a big hardware sale with new merch
System76 are making a bit of a splash today, ahead of the Alpha release of their new desktop environment named COSMIC. They told me that COSMIC is still planned to have an Alpha release in late July, although that's still just an estimate it could be pushed back if there's issues.

System76 Unveils COSMIC Brand and New Logo
System76’s COSMIC desktop environment is making waves in the open-source community this year, and there’s a lot of anticipation around it. And for good reason.
Unlike some other desktop environments, which are just modified versions of existing ones, COSMIC is built completely from scratch and written in the Rust programming language. And let me tell you, this is a big thing.
It’s expected to shake things up in a field dominated by KDE Plasma and GNOME, with a large share of the latter’s userbase especially expected to be bitten off.
Why? Because COSMIC actually emerged as a disagreement with the restrictions, direction, and imposed views from GNOME developers on how the desktop environment should look and function.
