+## 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 initive was started, a logo was
+found, the rebranding of the application as well as all community pages took place
+and the time of name conficts was over. (hopefully.)
