Note that under both proposed systems, the icon of Firefox-the-browser would remain the same. The "Gitlab-like" vulpine logo would be that of Mozilla, whose logo is the "://" thing right now.

That "://" logo would be one year old. [1] And yeah, it does look stale already. I appreciate thoughtful design, but IMO the frequency of redesigns of Mozilla branding/subbranding/websites/subdomains only communicates a sense of vanity at this point. The visual schizophrenia between trustworthy software developer and NGO doesn't help.

  They need to go back to the Mozilla dino Sick of seeing companies be so skittish with the boldness of their branding. These new designs look like more late-2010's-era hot garbage.

  I think I might be the only person in the world that actually likes the moz://a logo.. But like most people say here, I am not a fan of the new system logos, but the system 2 browser logos are cool.

I don't think that's what they're proposing. Mozilla's logo isn't changing. They want to add a new logo for Firefox, as a brand family. So the Fox-head logo would be used to identify the Firefox family of products, which they're saying they are going to grow. You end up with a hierarchy like: Mozilla -> Firefox -> Firefox Quantum/Focus/<insert new product here>

The Moz://a logo is... terrible IMO. It's not even really a "logo", it just seems like they were trying to be edgy and it didn't work.

  What's "not really a logo" about it? Is it because it's only a stylized version of the name? In this case, Coca-Cola probably doesn't have a logo either: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wordmark https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wordmark

No- > Each system leads with a new Firefox masterbrand icon — an umbrella under which our product lines will live. It's a logo for the "Firefox ecosystem", not for Mozilla.
