116514 - We need a Mozilla logo for web pages.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 78710

(mozilla.org :: Miscellaneous, task)

From Bugzilla Helper:

I already proposed once in a Mozillazine thread. I think Mozilla should have
some kind of logo people can put on their web page like "use Mozilla now" or
"Get Mozilla". When I proposed this people told me that this would be unncessary
because people who lay emphasis on standards can use the different W3.org logos.
I still believe that some kind of logo would be nice. First: many people still
don't know that Mozilla exists, a logo would be a simple way to tell them.
Second: AFAIK no browser supports the combination of standards Mozilla does
(XML, Favicons, <link>-tag etc.) therefore sites which only Mozilla (and not
eveven Netscape 6 can display 100% correct are possible. 

Some posts thought that this kind of logo would seem arrogant to non Mozilla
users. I don't think so. If the logo says "Get Mozilla Now" instead of "Best
seen with Mozilla" I don't see the problem.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. No logo available.

1. Obviously this isn't evangelism.

> Mozilla should have some kind of logo

2. It does.  The red dinosaur and the 5 point star.  If you mean we need a
**banner** image, then that is a different issue, though I am not sure that we
need any more...

3. Contrary to popular belief, Mozilla is made for testing purposes, not to
become a mainstream browser.  It's purpose is to provide a good basis for other
browsers from what I gather from many posts by Mozilla officials.  If you want
to promote a browser, it would be a better idea to promote Netscape 6, Galeon,
Kmeleon, etc. instead as they are targetted at end users.

4. The wise may encounter what they seek utilizing little more than their
wandering googly eyes, and timely hints.

5. Dupe  :)

1. Obviously it isn't so obvious that this isn't evangelism, since the dup has
also been posted as such.

2. Yes, Mozilla is for testing purposes only, but since there is not other
browser for Win that takes advantages of all its features (Netscape neither
supports favicons nor the <link>-tag at the moment), it's quite difficult to
promote another browser.
