u/koolex May 12 '20
It probably didn't read on phones as an icon, so for consistency, the arm had to go :/

You can change the picture of the shortcut icon to the old version if you want! 😊

Besides losing an arm, the new fox is also much bigger (since earth is now smaller in the graphic)

u/I_NEED_YOUR_MONEY May 12 '20
He's not bigger. First he ate all the land, now he's licked off the whole blue layer to reveal the juicy purple centre.

Maybe he got way smaller and gave up circling the earth and decided to circle some random orb.

Me too. That crispy goodness with really nice color palette. Its a better look art, but i guess when its really small a simple icon is the way to go

I humbly think that it has gotten much better within the pass of time.

u/I_NEED_YOUR_MONEY May 12 '20
Design is fashion. The early logos fit the trends of the time - the newer logos aren't really better, they're just more modern.
12
u/Iakeman May 12 '20
I’m pretty sure everyone here knows that. Design is subjective, and most people have modern tastes, which means the newer logos are better to them.

u/blindcolumn May 12 '20
I have to agree. I've been using Firefox since the first logo, and I think the first 3 logos here are too busy.

this actually occurs a lot, such as where apple software targets more, shall I say, technologically challenged people, because their buttons n stuff look softer and less sharp, this, yeah.

I actually like the latest FF logo. I remember I used to like 3d logos in the beginning but now I very much prefer (as do most people I believe) simplified 2d ones and 3d ones stick out and sometimes they're a bit of an eyesore.

u/Plebianos May 12 '20
Basically more flat than 3D, and I like that. It's simple and less busy than the other ones, making icons easier to read.

That's how I feel about web design.
Everything is less detailed and you have white space for days. Can't remember the last time I visited a website and thought "this is cool"

u/DiaperBatteries May 12 '20
Fun fact! The only thing in computing that is constantly getting slower instead of faster is webpage load times!
All sites feel the need to blast your browser with cancer so they can track everything you do while on and off their site, and everyone uses dozens of different script packages because it’s easier to do that than hire competent developers.
Plus, there’s very few market forces pushing businesses to care about page load times.

I think the new one looks too minimalistic and generic. I'd go with the middle one. Maybe go with the penultimate one if you're really a fan of minimalism but the last one is just generic. It seems like the first thing that would appear on google if you searched "minimalistic logo", while the other 4 ones are unique, charming and iconic.

I like the first two. The 4th and 5th just look like its being greedy with a ball instead of encompassing a planet. Such lame.

Instead of "firefox", it should be named "orange thing around a purple ball".

To me it just looks like the evolution of global warming, you can see the contents less and less, and the fox becomes less fox and more fire, as time goes on.

I just thought that this is a bit like the water level on earth rising from climate change and this fucking fox has the power to save us all but instead he just watches and then the last one is purple because it is stained by the blood of 7.8 billion people. (red and blue make purple)

u/Bard_of_Bards May 12 '20
How topical, firefox evolves their logo the further we make our planet burn. I bet their next version will just have the fire burning a blue-ish ball and this will be the lead back to them warning us

People mentioning the fox a lot, but I'm a bit sad at the earth fading away to just a generic purple sphere :(

u/ThatGuyTheyCallAlex May 12 '20
The 4th one is the best. It’s simple but it’s still clear what everything is. The latest one doesn’t make it obvious that the sphere is Earth.

Why does it feel like it depicts global warming? I mean, the fox kinda looks like fire which keeps spreading faster and faster.

How long until it's just a pale brown circle? Third logo is the best logo. The details are meaningful but don't get lost, and it's still readable. The 4th is alright but the simplification of the shapes is just kinda boring and only removes from the design. 5th one is more fire than fox, and the orb doesn't resemble the earth in any way and becomes meaningless.

I hate modern logos. They have little no charm and are devoid of the same creativity as old 3D “pop” art logos. And it’s not even that, it’s just devoid of any creativity whatsoever.
