Fucking horrible logos. I bet they used tens of thousands of dollars to get this shitty concept up.
>>56185438
>It's like we're back in the 90s.
>>56185569
Netscape was so good. I miss it dearly.
>>56184771
The logo would imply up and downs.
It should look moar like
There is nothing wrong with the current logo.
>>56185679
It doesn't appeal to a "youthful, values-driven audience" or represent "Gutsy, Independent, Buoyant, For Good" which are apparently things that Mozilla desires.
looks like something I can make in Affinity Designer eventho I don't even know how this fucking program works
>>56185569
Fuck Navigator. At least post the Netscape Communicator animation.
>>56185805
Never used that, but i'd watch that tray icon all day long.
Shit kinda reminds me if the win3.1 solitaire card animation when you won the game. Fun fact: i've played solitaire only cause of the animation.

Litterally none of these work as a good wordmark.
>>56184771
they just can't stop falling
>>56184771
It's really nice of Mozilla to recognize the retrocomputing community by releasing a CGA-compatible logo that also works well on monochrome screens.
>>56184771
woah it looks like temple OS
What the fuck is this shit
>>56186179
the final frame spells "mozilla"
This is what happens when they don't copy Google.
>>56185679
This.
>>56185703
That's not even possible to convey in a logo anyway. People need to stop listening to """artists""".
>>56184771
The actually don't mind the lizard eye one but it triggers my autism how undefined some of the letters are. Everything else is absolute trash, especially that last one holy shit. What the hell were they thinking?
I actually don't blame Mozilla for wanting a new logo. I didn't even know they had one. Even Googling "mozilla logo" just brings up the Firefox icon.
i like the Moz://a one
>Mozilla wants to look like they're stuck in the 1980s
>>56184938
>hopefully they'll realize its fucking awful
Doesn't matter. Ignoring users is what Mozilla does best.
>>56184771
VAPEE NAYSHALL
>>56186292
Isn't that good thou? 80s was great.
>>56186393
That logo would be suited for the header for official company papers, but it's an absolute eyesore otherwise.
The Moz://a logo is the only logo that approaches clever and worthwhile, but even then Mozilla should probably work on improving their products before they change their logo.
>>56184771
Whoever produced that garbage should have their urethra fucked with a rusty garden trowel.
>>56186419
Why the hell they want to changed the logo?
>>56186442
I assume their logic only went as far as "everybody else is doing it, why shouldn't we?"
Meanwhile, in the comments section, a logo made for free that's far better.
Why don't they just put the dino head inside a circle? Kids love circle logos these days.
>>56186496
dont kid yourself
At this point though, though, all of them are missing a good well refinded, non gimicky wordmark.
Tbh they shouldnt have made such a big deal about trying to get community feedback. There is litterally nothing worse then other random peoples feedback when it comes to design.
The best thing to do, is just fucking finish the whole design process then release it. As with all logos there would then be both good and bad reception of it, then after a while, as long as it isnt absolutely fucking terrible it wont kill the company and everyone stops giving a shit about something so unimportant to the every day use of their products as the logo. With this whole feedback proccess they have given everyone the illusion that they have an actual useful say in the matter, so everyone will be super salty when they dont do exactly what they thought was right for the logo.
i like the "M" but its a bit tryhard
the moz://a one is really good concept but i wasnt a huge fan of the execution

Yeah because tons of really profitable companies get by with terrible wordmarks!
Oh wait, they don't. You need at LEAST a passable wordmark to get your brand out there. Nothing will kill a company faster than a logo that doesn't exude at least a bit of competence, let alone quality.
There's literally nothing wrong with their current logo. Looks a damn sight more professional than any of these alternatives.
>>56189874
And Mozilla has proven to have both, competence and quality
>>56188531
It's a proper noun. The 'M' should be capitalized.
Focusing on the important tasks while the whole company is in shambles.
>>56189960
iPhone is a proper noun too.
>>56186705
No it's 1983
These faggots should have asked about the logo in /g/ instead.

Jesus fuck that's what you get when you let talentless dropouts and "enthusiasts" come up with a logo. Atrocious and amateurish. There's not a single good idea to be found among those.
I dislike them all.
>>56188834
except freetards didn't design them
>>56190219
I really don't get the butthurt in this thread. The logo looks objectively pretty.
done.
>>56190263
post to reddit for le maximum upboats xDD
Moz://a is pretty clever to be honest. It might look even better when the m isn't capitalised.
>>56184771
All of these fucking suck, though.
>>56186496
It's better because is simple and looks good in comparison to the other logos.
Isn't the best logo, tough.
>>56185851
This. Monsters Inc is the only good one
>wasting time and money on revamping a new logo
They could've hired an intern to make the dinosaur more flat design like and call it a day.

Mozilla has managed to fuck up everything else. Fucking up the logo as well was just a natural progression.
>>56184771
Holy fucking shit all of those logos look awful. They SPENT MONEY for this shit. They could have gone to the Krita forum, ask for a good logo, and get a dozen after 5 minutes.
>>56186366
\//\
>>56192162
I really don't know why companies like Mozilla do that shit. It would be much easier to have a logo contest with a cash prize.
They'd get 10,000 submissions for free and the one they pick would only cost them a few grand.
>>56188834
Are you legitimately retarded?
Have they honestly gone insane
>>56192129
Look on the bright side - there's a good chance the Document Foundation will take over Thunderbird development. If they can do for Thunrderbird what they did for OpenOffice, there would be a reason to be enthusiastic about desktop mail clients for the first time in over a decade.

This is not a good idea.
People who use Mozilla is not designers. Most of them, who really cares, is coders and specif developers. Other users just dont care. Designers prefer use Safari or Chrome, even caus it use Webkit.
Now you guys are asking to coders and common users to decide wich is the better design? Its not make any sense. A good design is not about taste or preferences. A good design is about function and use.
