Mozilla Introduces Two New Icon Designs for Firefox

Mozilla Firefox is one of the most popular web browsers and its icon one of the most easily recognizable by users. Mozilla believes the time has come to do a major facelift on the aesthetics of its acclaimed sail, and that includes the iconic icon.

Mozilla works on new icons for Firefox and all its components

After reviewing its own brand in January last year, Mozilla is looking to make significant changes to the Firefox brand, with new logos for all of its components. Once again, the organization wants users to help choose and refine the final design, for this the team has presented two different designs.

The two designs consist of four main components. First and at the top, we see the " masterbrand " icon, which will encompass everything within Firefox. The first row presents the well-known browser icons for Firefox Quantum and its variants, Developer Edition and Nightly. The next one features more icons for the niche browser like Firefox Focus and Firefox Reality. Finally, there are icons for new applications and services that could be released under the Firefox brand.

Mozilla is asking those who make comments to focus on some specific questions, whether the icons feel like Firefox and whether each system is cohesive. The blog post cautions that this is not a voting contest and that the answer will not be chosen simply based on the majority of comments. It is also noted that the icons in both groups are not definitive and could change dramatically before they are made public. It seems that the team for now just wants to get guidance on the style to follow.

The blog post states that it will refine the final design in the coming months, so it could still take us a long time to see the new look staged.
