Logica Holdings, a developer of biometric access controlled social networking sites, has announced the official change of their company name to Dolphin Digital Media following its recent acquisition of the company of the same name. The name change was put into action to reflect the company’s goal of creating social networking sites that contain the same quality of Dolphin’s television programming, including many Nickelodeon shows.

Dolphin is hopeful that the combination of the biometric security technology, now called Dolphin Secure, along with Dolphin’s assets will lead to further social networking sites that are popular with tweens and young adults while being secure enough to keep parents at ease in regards to their child’s safety online.
