ancient Greek Firefox rule

Salty old designer’s 2¢

I think the new icon scales much better. The fox’s head has turned, and the snoot is easier to see when it’s small / far away. Also, the tail flame is more exaggerated, and it is also more apparent at a small scale.

The globe is kind of lost now. It just feels like a random purple ball, but scaling that down allowed the designers to play up the tail flame.

All in all, I dig it. Complex gradients and shapes are not great for logos. Never has been. That stuff is hard to work with when you start putting logos on signage, fav icons, etc. Simple logos have always been more practical.

And that said, simple is very very hard to do well. It’s clear that they spent a LOT of time on every little curve and detail with this thing. I think the designer did a nice job of preserving the history while giving Mozilla’s design team something that will be easier to work with.

absolute buffoon's 2¢ here

fox cute
- uwu
I know I'm completely butchering the color palette here, but I've finally realized what I felt was missing from the new logo. In the previous iterations, the head was always turned in such a way that you couldn't see the eyes. Now the head is at an angle where you should see the right eye. But you don't, the head is completely empty.

Here's an """"improvement"""" making the logo a bit more friendly I think:
- Now it looks like it has a mole lol
it's interesting that people argue about this a lot because firefox has the most complex icon on my home screen
^^ imo the logos under the "Doric" and "Tuscan" pillars are my two favorites. I like the slightly more detailed one better than the flat logo, but I completely understand why they changed it and there are some way worse examples of logos getting butchered by becoming too simple.

Am I the only one who likes the new Logo? I mean its simplified but you can still clearly recognize the Red Panda. Plus I like purple

You're not the only one, people especially in niche spheres like Linux are very nostalgic of a certain era in computing and refuse to accept that change happens. For example there are people who absolutely hate apps with the slightest bit of white space even though that was proven time and time again to be more accessible and readable
- Change can happen, that's fine
  
  We can also dislike modern logo design trends, those are 2 completely different topics at hand
But it is supposed to be a fox!
- nope
  Edit: Dug a bit deeper and found the answer on Firefox's website
- Actually it’s supposed to be a fox
I think the one before the current one is my favorite. I feel like the current one is a bit blocky while the previous has a little more detail but still looks good when shrunk down. I don't hate the current one, though.
I like it too, it is just easier on the eyes. There certainly is a trend of minimalism that makes every company try to simplify their logos, but for firefox I feel it does fit nicely
Yeah, I like the oldest
I also like the smooth gradients. I'm a gradient appreciator.
No you're not alone, I honestly disliked the old one and always have but I really like the new one.
It's quite nice
