   Reclaim the internet: #Mozilla’s rebrand for the next era of tech - https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-brand-next-era-of-tech/ I wonder how much they paid for this? Actually, I know: too much...money could be better spent on improving the code and winning back users

     @glynmoody Yup, this looks like a waste of money.

     @karlauerbach rebrands are usually a sign that they can't think of anything else to do in a difficult situation....not good

     @glynmoody looks like advertisement for the brand creation company.

     But not for Mozilla: Firefox — their flagship product — is completely invisible in this post.

     The name is used only one single time:

     "making sure people know Mozilla for its broader impact, as well as Firefox."

     "as well as" ← that’s mentioning Firefox as an afterthought. Are they going crazy?

     @lwriemen yes, pretty daft logo; but mozilla does come from godzilla, as the person who came up with the name told me when I was writing Rebel Code 25 years ago...

     @glynmoody I had seen a post, with no link, claiming they had become some kind of a bird. The new stick drawing looks like a duck or goose to me. (or a flag)

     The article later says their old mascot was a T-Rex which confuses me, because why call it Mozilla if you aren't a Godzilla? (Is Godzilla really a radioactive T-Rex? The arms don't fit that theory.)
