Branding Mozilla: Towards Mozilla 2.0

Posted by michael on from the brand-new dept.

sgarrity writes "I've written some recommendations for the branding and visual identity of the Mozilla Foundation's project and product line. I argue that the Mozilla Project should adopt a simple, strong, consistent visual identity for the Mozilla products including consistent icons across applications that mesh with the host operating system. Read Branding Mozilla: Towards Mozilla 2.0 and let us know what you think."

    I hope they follow this one. In Mozilla I have to consciously remember that the address bar does not work like every other Windows app I use, because it's not a Win32 Edit control, it's a unique Mozilla widget.

    It's true the IE edit box works slightly differently -- you click it once to select everything, then again to select words. And you can double click sections to select just a word. In Mozilla it's totally different; you can't select words automatically, and you click once to select individually and then again to select it all (I think.. today I finally uninstalled it).

    Also it's up to 1.5 and they still don't have middle-click scrolling. I've tried mozscroll and whatever the other two projects are. Three projects and they're all painful to use.
