656423 - Replace Fennec branding with nightly branding

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Caitlin Looney]

To provide a better user experience, please change the Fennec nightly name and branding and replace it with the nightly logo and name. 

Engagement is taking the necessary steps to grow the nightly channel to 25k by EOY. Before more eyes see this, we'd like to change the branding in order to align with desktop to reiterate our position of "one Firefox."

This change will keep rapid release messaging and positioning consistent across devices, provide clarity to the user and foster adoption. 

I will attach the nightly image files.

Here a couple of files:

What other sizes do you need?

I need replacements for all of these images:

Temporarily assigning this bug to Sean so he can crank out the sizes specified in comment #2.

Mark/Caitlin, what's the deadline on this? Having a date would really help us prioritize appropriately.

Since this is the nightly branding, Dev doesn't really have a deadline. When it's ready, we land it and it's live.

Caitlin, do you have any preference around the timing? 

We'll do it whenever you need it, but I'd like to stress that having an actual date (even if you just make one up) is a big help as we organize our overall project list.

Next week is the beta release, the week after is the next push from mozilla-central to aurora. Just factor those into the timing.

Mark - how fast can you do this. Jay would like this to happen by the end of this week. The nightly.mozilla.org page is being updated to reflect this change as well. It will also be implemented by end of the week.

I need replacements for all the existing Fennec images (see comment 2)

Once I have those changes, it won't take long at all.

Attachment: patch

Updated the nightly and aurora branding.

This patch replaces the old images with the new images. The nightly changes also include changing "Fennec" -> "Nightly" in:
* MOZ_APP_DISPLAYNAME
* brand.dtd
* brand.properties

We are already using "Aurora"

Note: We are not planning to rush the Aurora branding that landed with this patch to mozilla-aurora. The code will end up on mozilla-aurora on May 24th, when mozilla-central is merged to mozilla-aurora.
