idk, i like the new Firefox logo
Yeah the old one was cool too but I don’t really have anything against the new one either.
That Firefox logo was simplified, but not oversimplified. Even with a very small icon size you can still tell it’s a fox that is (on?) fire. The Firefox Family logo is oversimplified, just being a swoosh, basically.
well the family logo is supposed to be as simple as possible
I beg to differ. Until now I never noticed the fox in the logo. And even now that I know it’s there I have a hard time finding it. And I’m looking at a version of almost 1cm on my screen.
Well, I suppose it makes sense that it doesn’t apply to everyone, but my guess is that the majority can still see the fox.
Either way, the simplification of modern logos is a necessity, because they are used in small UI elements, often even appearing monochrome. At which point they still need to be recognizable. Whether they are simplified in a good or bad way, is subjective though.
The Reddit one looks like if they made a mobile game that’s just another Candy Crush clone.
OP: „I don’t like change.“
Never forget what they took from us
I liked this so much more! It was cute and charming.
The new logo looks so office neutral/corporate friendly.
If they didn’t change the firefox logo, it’d definitely look extremely dated today though
We should call them “oversimplication” and “overcomplification”. Would convey the meaning better :)
That might make thing overcomplified though
The new reddit logo is pretty awful but both Firefox logos are fine IMO. They are both pretty well done, just in different styles.
Yup, the design for Firefox’s logo is just a million times better than reddit’s, simplification arguments aside. FF just did a much better job.
Just me, or does anyone else see “zombie eyes” in the new reddit logo?
I just need to know why it has a five o’clock shadow
All of these logos look fine.
I used to not like the new Firefox logo when it first came out, but by now, I couldn’t do with the old one, it looks so much… And I bet if they changed it back, it would take me 2 months max to switch opinions right back.
At some point I have to accept, I’m just an ape of habit.
Honestly, its considered a hot-take but I do like minimalistic logos cause they are easier to recognize. Also they tend to better fit with the rest of the UI and products.
It all depends on context. The Firefox logo is good and fine as a brand logo you can put on the product website, big enough, or the about dialog. But as an application icon I dislike it. I would prefer a simpler, more recognizable, flat-colored version.
Just looking at the thumbnail of this post reveals to me that reddit has takgen a bad step. An icon which scales well and is highly recognizable changed to something that looks like a badly generated figure which is way less recognizable. The added colors will make it look worse on different colored backgrounds as well. Not great.
I like the new Firefox logo though. Except little foxy needs it’s paw back.
Let’s talk about this stupid “Let’s put a useless white background under our icons” trend.
Be honest, which looks better?
Oh hey it’s the maps logo, or is that the calendar logo? Nah it’s the files logo. I guess it could be the photos logo…
Really great when I’m trying to find something in a hurry.
The right answer.
Google forgor about PNGs 💀
Google also forgot about WebP. A format they created.
Jpeg xl baby!
I liked the new Firefox logo when it came out, but I think now I would appreciate it if logos became a little more sophisticated again.
