Is "Lost & Found" the same event type as "Community Celebration"?

See title ;-)

 

I am not quite sure whether a "Lost & Found" event (= 10 years celebration) is the same event type (cache type, cache icon) as the current "Community Celebration" event or are they handled differently?

 

Kind regards!

Lost & Found event was not equivalent to a 10 Years! event. 

Lost & Found Tour was an attribute, it was available on 10 Years! events where  a Lackey attended as part of touring the world of geocaching during the 10 Year anniversary.

 

10 Years! events were rebranded as Community Celebration Events in 2020, and presumably will now occur every decade. The older events had a different icon prior to 2020, but now both the 10 and 20 year events have the same icon.

What, "different icons"? all the CCE events whether original 10 Years! from 2010 or 2020-22 are now under the same CCE icon. 

 

A 2010 event in the 10 years! group, with the same CCE Icon type, and the Lost and Found Tour Attribute - >

The type now called a "Geocaching HQ Celebration" was originally titled as "Lost & Found Celebration": https://coord.info/GC24GYW . GSAK still uses the old name for it.

 

The icon is similar to, but subtly different from the one for HQ.

 

Just another silly thing HQ has done that probably wasn't the best idea in the world...

I found this in the GSAK support forum:

 

 

According to this picture, CCE and LFE caches ARE the same cache type (As well as Groundspeak L&F and HQ Celebration).

The GSAK forum post references an official blog post which seems to be gone, but it can be seen here: https://web.archive.org/web/20191204150601/https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2019/06/log-your-will-attend-for-the-geocaching-20th-anniversary-celebration/

 

According to this, the event types are the same as said above. Can this be confirmed here or are the type still different ones?
