Mozilla's New Logo Reminds Us that It Is, In Fact, a Web Firm (cnet.com)

Posted by msmash on from the revamp-time dept.

Mozilla has a new logo. The company has ditched the world "ill" from the name with a colon and two slashes. From a report: Last year, Mozilla, the internet company best known for the Firefox browser, publicly started the rebranding process by opening the door to public feedback. With several options on display, Mozilla asked for comments and input from all who cared to share. As of today, the new logo is official and the simple change is meant as a reminder that Mozilla is more than just a browser.

    Not bad, IMHO. Better than some of the ideas they had a short time ago.

    In their defence, I suspect they had to test the hell out of it to make sure a wide variety of applications, browsers, message clients, wikis, etc wouldn't shit the bed when they tried to parse a URI like moz://a in a chunk of text.

    At least, I hope they tested the hell out of it.

    Testing is not done at meetings.

    You know "sponsor" just means to buy advertising, right?

    Is it your contention that mozilla should not advertise their products?
    Or do you disapprove of the placement of the advertising?
    Because the surfing demographic are just too old for that new-fangled internet contraption, right?
