Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch
-
I've been informed that I should rebrand "Signal UT" for Trademark concerns.
I propose "Sigma UT". What do you think?
( Also I will give informations on how to rebrand the app to Signal once installed, for those who want to do that on their own and for their own device, for aesthetic reasons only, and knowing that this is not and official Signal app provided by Signal Technology Foundation, as already mentioned in the description of the app. )
Thank you!

@pparent The word sigma has some not very neutral meanings tied to it these days, as in alpha, beta and sigma males. I would not go for this name, unless you want the app to be associated with the manosphere.
Maybe you could pick a nice animal or plant you like, that starts with an S? Seal, seagull, satsuma, strawberry?

Thank your for your message!

I did not know about that, but then do you mean we should accept to not use greek letters anymore? Should we stop talking about Alpha and Beta versions of software? (exemple 24.04-2.0 Beta )
I would like something close enough to "Signal UT" so that we can mentally link it and know this is the same app. And I don't really want to add a reference to an animal I prefer it to stay on a neutral reference or a reference to privacy.
Other possibilities:
- "Sigilo UT": In spanish it means confidential, but I fear people don't know how to prononce it.
- "Sigla UT": Sigla is spanish for "acronym"
- "Sigmax UT"
- "Signeo UT"
Any preference?

@pparent I am not against the Greec alphabet, just mentioning the associations the word gives me. I would really appreciate a different name than Sigma UT.
I like Sigilo, but all of your other ideas are short, nice and with an S too!

@pparent I like Seagull very much. You could write it with an i, like Sigull

Or "Sigul" with a single "l" sounds nice!
For now "Sigul UT" to keep continuity and recognizability , I might later drop the "UT"!

@pparent Making a new logo with a seagull as an inspiration could be nice too!
Good luck with the name change, too bad you couldn't keep Signal. Thank you for still maintaining it and making it better and better

More suggestions: Signify, Signpost, Sigil, Signet.
But Sigul is nice too. If it has a seagull as an icon it's a pun! -
It could be something a bit like this

@pparent I love it!

@pparent extremely cute, i love it!
