"Content" is in the FSF's list of words to avoid [1], and Wikipedia quotes several sources saying that "the term devalues the work of authors" [2]. So maybe it would be better to avoid the term "content" altogether and say "works" instead.

There is no use of the word "content" in the new name/logo usage guidelines anymore: https://www.gentoo.org/inside-gentoo/foundation/name-logo-guidelines.html
