    Often, I associate a logo change with a change in what the brand wants. The older Reddit logo is associated with a time Reddit was good, and the new one is associated with Spez’s greed. Same with the Android logo, and many others.

    The new reddit logo is pretty awful but both Firefox logos are fine IMO. They are both pretty well done, just in different styles.

      Yup, the design for Firefox’s logo is just a million times better than reddit’s, simplification arguments aside. FF just did a much better job.

    I used to not like the new Firefox logo when it first came out, but by now, I couldn’t do with the old one, it looks so much… And I bet if they changed it back, it would take me 2 months max to switch opinions right back.

    At some point I have to accept, I’m just an ape of habit.

      Honestly, its considered a hot-take but I do like minimalistic logos cause they are easier to recognize. Also they tend to better fit with the rest of the UI and products.

        It all depends on context. The Firefox logo is good and fine as a brand logo you can put on the product website, big enough, or the about dialog. But as an application icon I dislike it. I would prefer a simpler, more recognizable, flat-colored version.

    I liked the new Firefox logo when it came out, but I think now I would appreciate it if logos became a little more sophisticated again.

    Let’s talk about this stupid “Let’s put a useless white background under our icons” trend.

    Be honest, which looks better?

    If they didn’t change the firefox logo, it’d definitely look extremely dated today though

    Just me, or does anyone else see “zombie eyes” in the new reddit logo?

    The Reddit one looks like if they made a mobile game that’s just another Candy Crush clone.

    Just looking at the thumbnail of this post reveals to me that reddit has takgen a bad step. An icon which scales well and is highly recognizable changed to something that looks like a badly generated figure which is way less recognizable. The added colors will make it look worse on different colored backgrounds as well. Not great.
