Tim Berners-Lee still regrets the double slash characters though.

I like their version. I’m not a font snob though. Not a Comic Sans type, I just don’t get it when my wife rejects like 20 versions of Helvetica before choosing one that looks completely identical to me.

Will they change their web address to www.moz://a.com?

I like Universal-derived fonts, but that G, dude… Even I’m squirming and feeling nauseous looking at it!

Armchair branding consulting is easy and fun! We’re hardwired to enjoy complaining, it seems.

Seriously, it could have been much worse considering the “let’s open/crowd source the entire design process, because GET IT WE ARE SO CLEVER and also what could go wrong, right guys” decision.

Yeah, it’s a brand-appropriate gimmick. Just not a fan of design by committee OR exploiting spec work by any other name, personally.

I like For The Internet Of The People, unless I really think about it, in which case it’s ugly as shit.

I like The Good Fight but only for the goatse.

I like the red stapler, just because it’s cool that somebody would make an Office Space joke in a logo.

What? It’s an abstracted dinosaur-head call-out to the early days Mozilla artwork? OK. And a red stapler.

Agreed - the previous ideas were almost universally terrible.

I like the new one, and let’s be honest, every time a company announces a new logo there’s a torrent of criticism about it, along with the standard bullshit about how it must have taken 5 minutes and a child could have done better. Blah, fucking, blah.

I think For Internet Of The People is maybe the only good one there.

The Good Fight is just a little too Monsters Inc. meets Eye of Sauron.
