Drupal 9 is the materialization of what the community has been working on throughout Drupal 8 over all these years, a version that means the complete adoption of the model of continuous innovation and regular update cycles that have allowed that for the first time in the existence of the project, a major update does not imply a reconstruction and migration.
Accompanying the new version is the new brand. According to the official announcement published on Drupal.org, this brand represents the fluidity and modularity of Drupal , as well as the value of the community to come together and create a greater whole, while continuity is the central element of the new design, there will be times when it represents a specific version of Drupal and that is why we could see it used with the version number next to it.
This will also be the opportunity to maintain consistency across all Drupal brands such as the association or DrupalCon.
What will happen to Druplicon?
Druplicon, the community mascot, isn't going anywhere - the new brand simply replaces the Drupal 8- specific logo that has been in use for the past five years during the Drupal 8 lifecycle; Druplicon will not be replaced, it will remain an emblem of the Drupal community and a mascot to be used and adapted by local communities, just as it has been throughout Drupal's history.
The new brand kit is now available on the association's website.
