"With one founder in Canada and the other in Russia, Gingko has always been global. We wanted to reflect that with this contest." says founder Adriano Ferrari.
The decision to rename came about as a combination of several factors. Adriano explains:
"Gingko trees are fossils, unchanged in millions of years; we are adamant about evolution and constant improvement. Also, the word 'gingko' has many alternate spellings, and is not distinctive enough on its own."
