In the past couple of weeks we worked on rebranding Kodi, in order for us to have the freedom to pursue new opportunities with CoreELEC. Rebranding meant that we had to remove “Kodi” and “XBMC” logos and text from the software, and modify its look in order for it to differ from Kodi.
This change has been merged, and will be available in tonight’s build.
In order to achieve this, we made the following changes:
- The default skin color is now Maroon, a tone of red, which we think goes very well with the CoreELEC color scheme. The original blue-ish color scheme is still available, it was renamed to “Classic”.
- The “Kodi” title and logo in the home page (top-left) were replaced by the “CoreELEC” title and logo.
- CoreELEC settings was revamped, and it will now use the color scheme selected in the default skin, and it will use maroon for other skins.
- The CoreELEC boot logo was updated. It’s not as minimalistic as the original logo, but we all think it looks great.
- The WebUI was rebranded as best we could, and it should be very easy to tell that it’s not a stock “Kodi” system.
- Several small changes were made to further the difference between the two software packages.
There are some other large changes and possibilities introduced in this upcoming build, but this post is strictly about the rebrand.
Please let us know of any parts that we may have missed during the rebrand, as it’s difficult to cover everything at first go.
Special thanks to @Blakey for the awesome logos and images he made for the rebrand, and his design ideas for the Home page logo. We couldn’t make it without you
