Panda Pop creator SGN Games has undergone a rebrand, and it is now called Jam City.

Speaking with SocialTimes, Jam City co-founder and CEO Chris DeWolfe said the name is, in part, a nod to Cookie Jam, one of the company’s popular games. In addition, a “jam” can be a group of people coming together, like a band playing music. In this case, the groups at Jam City are creating games.

Meanwhile, the “City” portion of the name was inspired by the sense of community users can have while playing games together.

In addition to announcing its rebrand, Jam City announced that it acquired rights to the comic strip Peanuts, and that it will release a Peanuts mobile game later this year.
