Salty old designer’s 2¢
I think the new icon scales much better. The fox’s head has turned, and the snoot is easier to see when it’s small / far away. Also, the tail flame is more exaggerated, and it is also more apparent at a small scale.
The globe is kind of lost now. It just feels like a random purple ball, but scaling that down allowed the designers to play up the tail flame.
All in all, I dig it. Complex gradients and shapes are not great for logos. Never has been. That stuff is hard to work with when you start putting logos on signage, fav icons, etc. Simple logos have always been more practical.
And that said, simple is very very hard to do well. It’s clear that they spent a LOT of time on every little curve and detail with this thing. I think the designer did a nice job of preserving the history while giving Mozilla’s design team something that will be easier to work with.
I know I'm completely butchering the color palette here, but I've finally realized what I felt was missing from the new logo. In the previous iterations, the head was always turned in such a way that you couldn't see the eyes. Now the head is at an angle where you should see the right eye. But you don't, the head is completely empty.
Here's an """"improvement"""" making the logo a bit more friendly I think:
Now it looks like it has a mole lol
