#62Until now I didn't realize Mozilla changed their logo. Now I've seen it the typographer in me cries… The whole purpose of text is to _unambigously_ convey information. So either Mozilla now rebrands themself as moz-colon-slash-slash or they now live with a significant portion of typography-anal nerds who dislike that logo.
Well maybe those self-proclaimed typography nerds could take this moment to collectively wonder how all these thousands of companies using fonts other than Helvetica could have fallen for amateurs telling them that fonts could convey emotions, that ambiguity could be artful, that art could have value, or that branding could shape perception.
I mean that one guy named his company "Virgin". How ambiguous is that? He'll have a learn a lot of things. And did you hear about the guys using an emoticon as their logo? Of like a fruit or something?
Good thing marketing doesn't work on me, or anybody else for that matter.

#63I Like the new phonetic spelling. A lot of people weren't voicing the glottal stop the old way.

#64If you're not a logo geek, this is the major website that reviews logo redesigns, on the new Mozilla logo: http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/new_logo...
Quote, to maybe nib the ritual hatred in the bud before mozilla becomes the new Apple: "A logo that not only DOESN’T suck but one that has a strong idea, a fresh execution, a promising flexibility, and, that all of it together, sometimes subtly and sometimes overtly, manages to communicate what Mozilla is about." Now if only someone would write an article explaining why considerations such as branding are useful even…
Yes, on the whole they seemed to like it. Which isn't true of many of the redesigns they reviews.

#65I think the bikeshed should be painted orange!
Well obviously you lack a basic understanding of bikeshed technology. It should be blue!

#67While I don't like the branding move at all, I think the concern that people will start calling them moz-colon-forward-slash-forwadslash-a is a little ridiculous. Is Sony's line of laptops Analog Wave One Zero? Is Verizon Verizoncheckmark? Is Johnson & Johnson Johnson ampersand Johnson? Is Comcast CComcast? No, because people aren't complete idiots. Those that are going to know/care about Mozilla will be able to tell…

Sweet summer child.

#68Yeah, that will totally solve Mozilla's now so slow fading into irrelevance. VideoLAN.org website stats tell me that Firefox hits percentage dropped from 26.3% through Jan 2016 to 21.2% through Jan 2017. Of course this is not a 100% reliable measure, but stats usually don't lie about that.

Neither will constant picking on anything they do or don't do.

I guess the reason might just be that the market is moving towards a new equilibrium.
Unless we start making websites and web apps that only work in other browsers then the web is big enough for both Firefox and other inferior browsers ;-)

#69Earlier quoted context omitted.
It may not be the best reason, but aren't there already dozens of highly product-specific schemes in use? (such as steam:, unreal:, chrome: in Firefox, chrome: in Chrome - with completely different semantics -, view-source: etc etc)
Are any of those registered with the IANA?
Yep, though most of them are "provisional", which means it isn't a formal or permanent definition. Here's the full list:

#70Everything around this redesign is just a clusterfuck: the process, the winner, the hacks introduced to cope with it, the SEO fail, the loss of identity...
Most people don't care.
It shows how emo some of the users are.
