Hello Everyone-

In case you missed it earlier this week we announced that CoreOS Linux is renamed to Container Linux by CoreOS. This comes with a new logo as well.

Excerpt from the blog with further thoughts:

Our CoreOS Linux open source product was the first step in delivering on our promise of securing the internet. Today, we estimate 1 million unique instances of CoreOS Linux are created per month. This distribution is streamlined for containers but more importantly, it delivers the auto update capability that allows you to (A) get patches quickly, (B) ensure your vulnerability response efforts are automated/consistent/current and (C) keep up to date with the most recent innovations in the Kernel so you can run the most modern applications, like containers.

Over the years, CoreOS (the brand) has grown to represent not just a product but the leadership and expertise we provide to our customers and in the open community. So to differentiate our company from this widely used product, we have renamed CoreOS Linux to “Container Linux by CoreOS” and have given it a new logo as well.
