I have to admit, I really don't like this. The old logo looked pretty neat and the "://" part was a stroke of genius.
The moz://a logo is really genius. I wonder if their current leadership is so incompetent that they don't even understand the :// part of the logo...
I think that question can be answered by the recent horrible series of decisions by them. Mozilla really has been captured by the roots of enshittification at this point.
They even implemented it in Firefox: moz://a redirects to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/
As will any moz://
I 100% agree. I don't mind design refreshes. I think I'm in the minority of loving the current Firefox logo.
But this just sucks. They really took their unique, clever wordmark logo (but still very modern and minimal!) and replaced it with a bland, trendy 2022 typeface.
I know this is super petty, but this might convince me to find another password manager and method for syncing tabs. Might try librewolf, too. Rebranding invites users to re-evaluate their view on a brand, and mine isn't changing for the better.
Yeah, I remember the first time I saw the :// thing I felt myself having a little design-gasm.
This doesn't touch the same spot for me...
The new logo sort of looks like a white flag. It symbolizes the fact that Mozilla has just completely given up by now.
lmao
The flag looks a bit like a disgruntled goose.
I mean, if the intention is to reflect the utterly bad decisions Mozilla has made, this new logo would be spot on
Ew the new one sucks. Why can't they spend the money that they have on important stuff instead of changing logos every couple of years? Uk, considering that their funding is going to dry up because of the Google anti trust case?
Because they don't have money
Why do companies constantly feel an urge to update their logos? I see this as marketing teams needing to show they are doing something so they come up with a "project" and then convince the management it's necessary...
Nobody needs marketing people.
Because the CEO is probably having an existential dread crisis and needs to do something about it. So he fucks up the logo because he can, and fuck you. Now watch Mozilla ads from their newly acquired Ad company.
The font doesn't look too good
Not even Fira :/
and not Zilla Slab (which even had an opentype feature to replace “Mozilla” with “Moz://a”)
I do like the new logo, but it is a bit sad to see the :// gone.
Coincidentaly :/ is the symbol for "a bit sad"
Am I the only one who only sees a pitch black image?
Pretty sure it's black on transparent. Not the most visible, especially if your client makes the background black.
I switched to light mode to take a look at it and now I can confirm it looks absolutely terrible.
Can confirm, it looked better as a pitch black blob.
Ugh. Requiring your users enable light mode to look at an image is just cruel and unusual punishment...
I took a screenshot
You, my friend, are a truly unsung hero. ❤️
Also, damn, that's an ugly logo...
As a calligrapher, this is not pleasing to look at. Far from it.
As not a calligrapher, I agree.
Does the flag look like a chicken to anyone else?
It's probably supposed to be a Godzilla-like creature.
He's back from the dead!
My thoughts exactly. It's an underwhelming throwback in exchange for the pretty clever moz://a pun.
Thanks, now I can’t unsee it.
TBH, it’s better as a chicken
Nope. I mean I don't really care. But it definitely doesn't appeal to me.
Fuck you, Mozilla, it's uglier and tells less about your core product, which is also the only thing you have that makes people tolerate your other stupid decisions.
Also, fuck your "a" in that font. I'd punch that fucking glyph in the face if it spoke to me on the street.
I'm right there with you. Although I might not wait for that glyph to speak 😜
What other problems left to solve? Right, let's change the logo.
Great sign that organizational resources are being arranged into a pointless circlejerk safely removed from browser & Thunderbird development, or finding opportunities to monetize that aren't products nobody asked for outside the nonprofit corporate bureacracy
Also hier soll das neue eingebettet sein
Und das ist das alte
Das neue ist hässlich
Should've used Papyrus
I feel like we were just getting used to the old new logo?
It's possible this new logo is only for using next to other brands.
What a complete waste of everybodys time.
The flag looks like Nepal's flag.
The only REAL Mozilla logo
Why did they copy i3?
Is that last resort of mozilla foundation. That is futile. Every new update from then enshitify firefox also if google won't be able to pay browser owners to be default search engine, mozzila will drown without that money.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
