# Brand Updates

There have been a few changes made to the TurtleCoin® branding over the last few months and we felt the need to summarize a few of the high points as we're very proud of these changes.

## Branding Guide

The [branding guide](https://github.com/turtlecoin/brand/raw/master/TurtleCoin%20Brand%20Guide%202020-2021.pdf) for TurtleCoin received a refresh a few months ago. It contains cupdated guidelines on how to properly reference the registered Trademark, proper use of logos or symbols, the wordmark, as well as font selections and the new color scheme (don't worry, the green isn't going anywhere).

### Presentation Slide Templates

Rock also took the time to create a slick new set of presentation slide [templates](https://github.com/turtlecoin/brand/raw/master/TurtleCoin%20Slides%202020-2021.pdf) that anyone can use when presenting on TurtleCoin topics, technologies, or general promotions. These templates present a crisp, clean, and consistent message to those we wish to introduce to various TurtleCoin topics.

## Website

For those of you who haven't noticed, the official website at [https://turtlecoin.lol](https://turtlecoin.lol) also received a much needed facelift. Rock, @mrrovot, and a few others contributed to the new simplier design that follows the new guidelines. We'll be working on updating a few other core maintained site(s) to reflect the new look and feel across the board.

### TurtleCoin (dot) com

Those of you that frequent the chat have likely seen a few interactions that haven't always ended very... well between a few community members and uaoverall. uaoverall allegedly secured the domain name `turtlecoin.com` almost two years ago by purchasing it from a domain name squatter for much more than the fair market rates that a registrar like [NameCheap](https://www.namecheap.com/domains/) charges. 

Since then, he's forwarded `turtlecoin.com` to `turtlecoin.lol` in the hopes that one day the official project site would be migrated from `turtlecoin.lol` to `turtlecoin.com`. Unfortunately, without getting into the details, every time discussion came up, things always ended up very heated. Suffice it to say, the topic coming up every few months the past two years starts to grind a little bit (on both sides).

With this in mind, IBurnMyCd stepped up to the plate and worked out a deal with uaoverall to transfer the ownership of the domain to the same organization that holds the Trademark. 

The most interesting part of all of this is that this very well might be the very first actual contract paid entirely in TurtleCoin. While the details of the contract aren't being shared (to protect both parties), it's very cool whenever TurtleCoin is used for a real-world transaction.

With this deal, the team is happy to report that the `turtlecoin.com` domain name is now securely in a member of Core's hands. For now, the domain is retaining its forwarding role to `turtlecoin.lol` until such a time that the community may decide that switching from `turtlecoin.lol` to `turtlecoin.com` makes sense.

Thankfully, we can now put this issue to rest and leave it well behind us as the community moves forward with everything everyone is doing to make TurtleCoin the go to network for fast, safe, and fun transactions.
