I think there is the fundamental problem with this logo. Either people don't know about Mozilla in which case they probably don't care or don't understand the ://. Or if they do know about Mozilla and having :// just looks lame. We had a designer that proposed to use '|<' as the letter 'K' in our logo. Cause y'know we were a technology company... and y'know we write code... We didn't use that designer.

This reminds me of when PayPal ran all those billboard ads for Braintree in the Bay Area. I can just imagine the meeting where the team decided how they were going to look: Product: "We need to engage more with our developer customers." Marketing: "What do developers have strong positive emotions about?" Product: "Our customer interviews suggest they like writing code." Design: "We'll do the billboards entirely in monospace." Marketing: "Brilliant." It probably sounded like a good idea at the time, but monospace looks ugly and doesn't read very well to humans, especially from a distance. It's just a necessary evil to make sure indentation works properly. Actual developers instantly realize how silly it is to make it the prevailing visual feature on a billboard. Especially when the copy doesn't even line up vertically. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B0qaKcUCAAA-enL.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B0qaKcUCAAA-enL.jpg

  I don't even think that's monospace.

    It's not. The letters on subsequent lines don't match up.

      That's because the spaces are not monospaced.

    Yup. It isn't even monospace. It is someone's idea of what monospace looks like.
