DSpace, the software platform behind MOspace, has a new logo. The new brand coincides with a major rewrite of DSpace code, which is expected to be available for implementation in early 2018. Called DSpace 7, the new DSpace code will give us more flexibility in the look and development of MOspace. Felicity Dykas serves on a DSpace 7 community team that is reviewing and prioritizing proposed features from DSpace users.
More about the new logo: “With the help of 99designs, DuraSpace, and designers from around the world, more than 100 logo designs were contributed to help the DSpace community chose a new logo for the popular open source repository software in use by more than 2300 institutions worldwide. The DSpace community was invited to vote and comment on the top designs in a poll. The winner is a bright green “D” with a stylized “connector” icon. The concept was designed by Yadhie Coy who resides in Central Java, Indonesia. The new brand aims to give DSpace an updated look and feel with a modernized logo as community work on the new DSpace 7 with an Angular user interface continues. The new logo will become part of a redesigned DSpace web site later in 2017, and will also be featured on promotional items.”—DuraSpace marketing material.
