The importance of logos is common sense in corporate affairs.Īs mentioned in Ashwin’s article, if the difference in logos is not properly known, end users will be confused by the “authenticity” of apps such as fake apps and malware infections. On the other hand, I work for a large international enterprise, have a lot of experience with various PCs, and are familiar with social common sense (real world). You have a lot of experience as a home user, but you are not familiar with the real world because you are based on the views of a particular theorist of your choice. The “logo” is a symbol of corporate identity and is a very important symbol. You are short-circuiting the issues in this article. Many people have fallen victim to malicious programs, because of a case of mistaken identity, they looked at an icon and thought it was the official program, but at the end they got a potentially-unwanted program. While it may seem like a trivial thing on the surface, logos and brand recognition are actually pretty important. The only thing missing in Mozilla's message was a facepalm meme. The statement also took a swipe at the people sharing the memes, and stated that these people (who were sharing the memes) aren't Firefox users, because otherwise they'd be familiar with the real logo on their desktop (or Taskbar). This is when Mozilla decided to step in, the misinformation had to stop, and they had to officially say "No! the Firefox logo isn't being changed".

And the sad thing is, people started believing these were real, and even reached out to Firefox's social accounts protesting the change. The downside was that the memes were being shared by social accounts with thousands of followers, and some of these were verified accounts. Another meme featured an Among Us styled logo, there were other pictures with funny quotes, sarcastic humor, rude posts, and even completely different icons. There was an animated version of this which transitioned from Firefox to Microsoft Edge's logo. One of these had a logo with the fox's tail being replaced by a sphere making it a crunchyroll icon. The memes didn't stop there, and were quite hilarious. While some of the icons are older versions used for the browser, you may have noticed that the last one, i.e., the meme Firefox logo is a slightly altered version of the parent brand's icon. Right, back to the present, here is one of the images that are being circulated on social networks, reddit and meme sites. Speaking of which, Mozilla calls the parent logo, a "fiery marble". While we are on that topic, it might seem like the non-profit organization was kind of going the Google-way, with the colorful icons in that image. This particular icon in question is something that has never been used for any of the Firefox versions or other service. Take a look at this blog article from 2 years ago.
