Mozilla is trying a rebranding. Back in June, the browser developer announced that it would freshen up its logo and enlist the Internet's help in reaching a final decision. The company hired British design company Johnson Banks to come up with seven new "concepts" to illustrate the company's work

I see Pixar, Sky + Box, Zune.

Surely they should have just make it an open contest instead of paying one guy. They aren't good.

Sapiens · Aug 22, 2016

These are all terrible.

Ultima_5 · Aug 22, 2016

Best one is the one featuring ://

Rest look like other companies to much

Cindres · Aug 22, 2016

Yeah do not like a single one of those.

Azuran · Aug 22, 2016

Gross

nortonff · Aug 22, 2016

All of those are awful.

Ivan 3414 · Aug 22, 2016

Their original logo was weird enough to begin with

I agree, I think it could work with different colors or font maybe.

SomedayTheFire · Aug 22, 2016

The "penrose M" is great

Zepp Twofist · Aug 22, 2016

Why don't they just make that fox or whatever flat like everybody else is doing if they are going for "uninspired"?

Izuna · Aug 22, 2016

These have to be a joke. They are horrific.

Coreda · Aug 22, 2016

Yeah, no.

archnemesis · Aug 22, 2016

Yep, their current logo is better.

C-Drive · Aug 22, 2016

Some of the worst designs I've ever seen. They do need something other than just their name in a font, though.

Moz://a is the only redeeming one.

Exactly what I was gonna say.

Entropia · Aug 22, 2016

Those look like the equivalent of a death metal band's logo except if it was a Synth-pop band.

benicillin · Aug 22, 2016

These are so amateur it almost looks like they were done on an online logo generator.

explodet · Aug 22, 2016

The second one makes me irrationally angry.

Bluth54 · Aug 22, 2016

I hope Mozilla didn't pay that guy for those designs because if they did they wasted their money.

YaBish · Aug 22, 2016

4 and 6 could work. In any case, these are just ideas. Iterating on them is inevitable.

xKilltheMx · Aug 22, 2016

Each and every single one is horrible wow

Maxim726X · Aug 22, 2016

Looks too much like

Vulcano's assistant · Aug 22, 2016

Some of these look like logos for companies that make everything from hotels, to tires for motorcycles, to super strength glue, but not a tech company.

RandomSeed · Aug 22, 2016

Can they please speed up Firefox after they get the logo situation figured out? It's probably my favorite, but I stopped using it since it's so much damn slower than the alternatives.

YianGaruga · Aug 22, 2016

money well spent

Link Man · Aug 22, 2016

Gotta go with the "Eye of Sauron" one.

LeleSocho · Aug 22, 2016

Only decent one

Fallout-NL · Aug 22, 2016

Sapiens said:

Yeah, hard to decide which one is the worst even.

Delicious Waffles · Aug 22, 2016

The blue one with the slash L's isn't bad.

EstoyBlackWaldo · Aug 22, 2016

That last one... Just what in the world is that.

The Jackdog · Aug 22, 2016

wow, these are ROUGH

Deleted member 1235 · Aug 22, 2016

I hate them all but

Moz://a

is clever. they should make a logo that doesn't suck out of that idea.

Xun · Aug 22, 2016

Johnson Banks are garbage in my opinion.

Their redesign of my old colleges logo was horrific:

Tuck · Aug 22, 2016

That first one is hard to look at.

I think I like the second one though. Colorful.

It reminded me about old download manager - Go!Zilla.

Sickboy007 · Aug 22, 2016

For reference, this is their current logo

.

But the first one is least awful. At least that one is kinda pleasing to the eye and fits the "zilla" branding.

Vulcano's assistant · Aug 22, 2016

You can't tell me this is not the logo from a power tools manufacturer

Agree, the Moz://a one is the only that stands out and seems at least slightly clever and ok.
I would consider more experimenting with variations and different fonts / colors, as i'm sure the idea could be done better.

That is atrocious.

Can you imagine sending payment for that.

I see it mostly in its MDN adaptation:

RDreamer · Aug 22, 2016

These aren't great but maybe 4 and 5 are workable.

If by 'too much' you mean literally not at all, sure.

Yeah, I like this.

Escape Goat · Aug 22, 2016

they paid money for those.

I don't mind it there actually. Besides, most of their products have some creature illustration going for it that its become kind of endearing.

jelly · Aug 22, 2016

Moz://a is kinda clever but it doesn't really have a place much now, :// is usually hidden in browsers address lines and is only seen in links and wouldn't work as a smaller logo.

Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.

Blinded by the luminous glory that is David Bowie's physical manifestation.
