They definitely spent the equivalent of at least one or two laid-off employee’s salary to design a logo that’s worse than their last one.

Mozilla has had a rough year so far, with the PPA fiasco hurting its reputation in the open source community. To make matters worse, a recent wave of layoffs made people question if Mozilla had forgotten about their core principles.
I just like firefox.
Meant to symbolize their activist spirit, the new brand identity of Mozilla involves a custom semi-slab typeface that spells Mozilla, followed by a flag that was taken from the M of their name.
What do I care.
I love gecko. I can’t not hate mozilla for some reason.
Tbh it does not look much like a dinosaur / T-Rex to more like a chicken (flag?). BUt then again birds being the last dinosaurs etc …
first I was seeing it as a flag. now I see it as a dinosaur head with open mouth at the top of a flagpole
The 2017 one was based. All the other ones are a big fat meh, especially the 2024 one.
Yeah I’m really fond of the 2017 too, likely because I’ve started using Firefox again around that time.
I don’t know why brands have to continuously update their branding, without any need (e.g. I understand why they no longer use the Red dino, that’s a bit outdated). On the other hand I don’t really care about branding, as it’s the product I actually care about.
Now the “ill” is back…
In the end it doesn’t matter.
Hopefully, this rebrand turns things around, as we need organizations like this to survive. Otherwise, we will be left with the greedy Big Tech ones, who aren’t really concerned with people or their rights.
