Here Are the Seven Candidates for Mozilla's New Logo

Mozilla will have a new logo by the end of September 2016

Two months after starting an "open rebranding" for the Foundation's new logo, Mozilla has narrowed down the number of choices to seven design routes.

 

By "open branding" Mozilla didn't ask for user submissions but said that the logo choice and as much as the input as possible would be coming from its users, not execs in a San Francisco office.

 

All seven logo candidates came from UK-based design firm Johnson Banks, who previously worked with Virgin, the London Science Museum, and the Guggenheim Museum.

 

Each logo candidate is unique in its own right and gives users good alternatives to choose a favorite from. The logos also have their unique names: The Eye, The Connector, The Open Button, Protocol, Wireframe World, The Impossible M, and Flik Flak.

 

Unfortunately, the design community was not impressed, according to feedback provided on Designer News, a website where designers and developers meet to share links and opinions. Disregarding the criticism, by far the top favorites were The Connector and Protocol.

 

The next step is for Mozilla to cut down the seven candidates to only three, which will receive further refinements and enter a round of consumer testing and live critique in mid-September. The Foundation hopes to have a final decision by the end of September.

If you don't like any of these logo candidates, please join the competition, create good one and submit to Mozilla to avoid nasty logo like the yellow one above becoming official.

 

My Update - 1:

You can also provide feedback or suggestion for logo, you can visit Mozilla Blog page here and click on each logo to be taken to its dedicated discussion page.

Why do these logos look like they have been designed by a bunch hipster morons wearing hemp clothes and sandals?

 

Whilst I do not have the time or skills I'm fairly certain there are several other people online which would have come up with something vastly better, more to the point why is the Mozilla foundation worrying about these kind of matter when they have vastly more important tasks and goals to achieve! Get your heads back in the game!

It's good to see I'm not the only one who is not happy with these.

 

But, if and only if, these are the only options, then I will go with The Connector or The Protocol one.

Really disappointing designs in my opinion and they don't really make me think of Mozilla Firefox in any way. Be honest, when you hear the word "Mozilla" do you think of a yellow square with Mozilla written in it? I'm not against change, but there still has to be a relation / connection / nod to what existed before to maintain the feeling of familiarity and continuity. Just my opinion.:D:D:D
