The new logo sort of looks like a white flag. It symbolizes the fact that Mozilla has just completely given up by now.

[-] m4m4m4m4@lemmy.world 41 points 5 months ago

I mean, if the intention is to reflect the utterly bad decisions Mozilla has made, this new logo would be spot on

[-] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 32 points 5 months ago

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?

[-] Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Because they don't have money

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 24 points 5 months ago

The font doesn't look too good

[-] cerement@slrpnk.net 9 points 5 months ago

and not Zilla Slab (which even had an opentype feature to replace “Mozilla” with “Moz://a”)

[-] that_leaflet@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

I do like the new logo, but it is a bit sad to see the :// gone.

[-] Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Coincidentaly :/ is the symbol for "a bit sad"

[-] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 16 points 5 months ago

Am I the only one who only sees a pitch black image?

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago

Pretty sure it's black on transparent. Not the most visible, especially if your client makes the background black.

[-] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 12 points 5 months ago

I switched to light mode to take a look at it and now I can confirm it looks absolutely terrible.

[-] VonReposti@feddit.dk 10 points 5 months ago

Can confirm, it looked better as a pitch black blob.

[-] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted 9 points 5 months ago

Ugh. Requiring your users enable light mode to look at an image is just cruel and unusual punishment...

You, my friend, are a truly unsung hero. ❤️

Also, damn, that's an ugly logo...

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 5 points 5 months ago

As a calligrapher, this is not pleasing to look at. Far from it.

[-] Iapar@feddit.org 3 points 5 months ago

As not a calligrapher, I agree.

[-] harl3k1n@feddit.org 11 points 5 months ago

Nope. I mean I don't really care. But it definitely doesn't appeal to me.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Also hier soll das neue eingebettet sein

Und das ist das alte

Das neue ist hässlich

[-] Davel23@fedia.io 10 points 5 months ago

Does the flag look like a chicken to anyone else?

[-] Jilanico@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

It's probably supposed to be a Godzilla-like creature.

[-] data1701d@startrek.website 15 points 5 months ago

He's back from the dead!

[-] halm@leminal.space 10 points 5 months ago

My thoughts exactly. It's an underwhelming throwback in exchange for the pretty clever moz://a pun.

[-] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 4 points 5 months ago

Thanks, now I can’t unsee it.

TBH, it’s better as a chicken

[-] moontorchy@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

What other problems left to solve? Right, let's change the logo.

[-] mygoodsir@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] ResoluteCatnap@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 months ago

Should've used Papyrus

[-] Iapar@feddit.org 4 points 5 months ago

What a complete waste of everybodys time.

[-] owiseedoubleyou@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

The only REAL Mozilla logo

[-] mandip@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

The flag looks like Nepal's flag.

[-] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 2 points 5 months ago

Why did they copy i3?

[-] Mixel@szmer.info 1 points 5 months ago

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.
