I'v read it as "hurts" and reading the article couldn't understand whether it was a sarcasm or what. Then I thought HN headline was wrong. Then I re-read it as hearts :)

> how this could lead to possible confusion I sincerely doubt it. There are two groups in the world: Group A: What the hell is a Mozilla? Group B: knows the difference between cURL and Mozilla

But what about the third who may see a cURL logo after the new Mozilla logo and say, "oh, I didn't realize cURL was a Mozilla project."

What about http://? Is it a Mozilla project, too? What a mess.

I wasn't even aware that curl had a logo.

I wasn't aware that curl had a community or website. I always thought of it as just a command in my terminal. Guess my eyes are open just a little bit wider than yesterday.

You really need to listen to this podcast with Daniel on the Changelog. I love his attitude and his approach.

This is such a non issue that it didn't even warrant the blog post.

Nowadays outrage is all the rage, I guess communicating early and briefly could nip some minor drama in the bud. This doesn't seem likely, but you never know...

For prior art of using :// in branding, here's the IT consulting company I used to run in the early 2000's: https://www.sunesis.com.au/

They haven't changed their website since I sold out in 2003, quite an astonishing thing for a website.

You can see, though, that the graphic designer got a bit confused and reversed the order to //:. He insisted on leaving it that way because design reasons.
