I love reading how companies justify their expensive rebrands.

The flag symbol highlights our activist spirit, signifying a commitment to ‘Reclaim the Internet.’ A symbol of belief, peace, unity, pride, celebration and team spirit—built from the ‘M’ for Mozilla and a pixel that is conveniently displaced to reveal a wink to its iconic Tyrannosaurus rex symbol designed by Shepard Fairey. The flag can transform into a more literal interpretation as its new mascot in ASCII art style, and serve as a rallying cry for our cause.

Fuck off. This was designed by the intern the night before submission. It’s a fucking ascii dinosaur. The green doesn’t represent nature, it’s giving old monochrome monitor vibes, which doesn’t really scream “futuristic”. I’ve submitted enough bullshit design projects to know one when I see one.

YFW you realise this was designed by a well payed marketing and digital design team that make more money in three months than you make in a year, publishes straight to production, regularly bypasses the VPN for work, and still doesn't know how how to use the Oxford comma!

Ha! Jokes on you I'm one of those well paid marketing execs. And I was referring to the nautical term "to pay" which means seal a wooden deck to prevent leaks. And my marketing team can be referred to as being well payed, as in slick as shit.
