For over 25 years, we\u2019ve championed the idea that the web should be for everyone, no matter who you are or where you\u2019re from. Now, with a brand refresh, we\u2019re looking ahead to the next 25 years (and beyond), building on our work and developing new tools to give more people the control to shape their online experiences.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs our personal relationships with the internet have evolved, so has Mozilla\u2019s, developing a unique ability to meet this moment and help people regain control over their digital lives,\u201d said Mark Surman, president of Mozilla. \u201cSince open-sourcing our browser code over 25 years ago, Mozilla\u2019s mission has been the same \u2013 build and support technology in the public interest, and spark more innovation, more competition and more choice online along the way. Even though we\u2019ve been at the forefront of privacy and open source, people weren\u2019t getting the full picture of what we do. We were missing opportunities to connect with both new and existing users. This rebrand isn\u2019t just a facelift \u2014 we\u2019re laying the foundation for the next 25 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><video autoplay=\"\" loop=\"\" muted=\"\" poster=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2024\/12\/logo-lockup-video-poster.png\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2024\/12\/02_MOZILLA_LOCKUP.mp4\"\/><\/p>\n<p>We teamed up with global branding powerhouse Jones Knowles Ritchie (JKR) to revamp our brand and revitalize our intentions across our entire ecosystem. At the heart of this transformation is making sure people know Mozilla for its broader impact, as well as Firefox. Our new brand strategy and expression embody our role as a leader in digital rights and innovation, putting people over profits through privacy-preserving products, open-source developer tools, and community-building efforts.<\/p>\n<p>The Mozilla brand was developed with this in mind, incorporating insights from employees and the wider Mozilla community, involving diverse voices as well as working with specialists to ensure the brand truly represented Mozilla\u2019s values while bringing in fresh, objective perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>We back people and projects that move technology, the internet and AI in the right direction. In a time of privacy breaches, AI challenges and misinformation, this transformation is all about rallying people to take back control of their time, individual expression, privacy, community and sense of wonder. With our \u201cReclaim the Internet\u201d promise,\u00a0 a strategy built with DesignStudio in 2023,\u00a0 the new brand empowers people to speak up, come together and build a happier, healthier internet \u2014 one where we can all shape how our lives, online and off, unfold.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" data-id=\"77949\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/03_1_ROAR.gif\" alt=\"A stylized green flag logo on a black background, featuring bold geometric lines and sharp angles, creating a modern and dynamic visual impression.\" class=\"wp-image-77949\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"77939\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/03_2_BOTTLE-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"A black water bottle with bold white text that reads, &quot;Reclaim the internet with us.&quot; It features a bright green lid and a sticker of the stylized &quot;P3&quot; logo attached to its surface.\" class=\"wp-image-77939\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/04_MOZILLA_HOODIE-1024x576.png\" alt=\"A close-up of a black hoodie with &quot;Mozilla&quot; printed in vibrant green, showcasing a modern and bold typeface.\" class=\"wp-image-77858\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05_MOZILLA_BADGES-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"A set of three ID badges with minimalist designs, each featuring a stylized black flag logo, a name, title, and Mozilla branding on green, black, or white backgrounds.

The flag can transform into a more literal interpretation as its new <strong>mascot<\/strong> in ASCII art style, and serve as a rallying cry for our cause.<\/li>\n<li>The bespoke <strong>wordmark<\/strong> is born of its semi-slab innovative typeface with its own custom characters. It complements its symbol and is completely true to Mozilla.<\/li>\n<li>The<strong> colors<\/strong> start with black and white \u2014 a no-nonsense, sturdy base, with a wider green palette that is quintessential with nature and nonprofits that make it their mission to better the world, this is a nod to making the internet a better place for all.<\/li>\n<li>The custom <strong>typefaces<\/strong> are bespoke and an evolution of its Mozilla slab serif today. It stands out in a sea of tech sans. The new interpretation is more innovative and built for its tech platforms. The sans brings character to something that was once hard working but generic. These fonts are interchangeable and allow for a greater degree of expression across its brand experience, connecting everything together.<\/li>\n<li>Our new unified brand <strong>voice <\/strong>makes its expertise accessible and culturally relevant, using humor to drive action.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Icons<\/strong> inspired by the flag symbol connect to the broader identity system. Simplified layouts use a modular system underpinned by a square pixel grid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><video autoplay=\"\" loop=\"\" muted=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2024\/12\/08_MOZILLA_TYPOGRAPHY.mp4\"\/><\/p>\n<p><video autoplay=\"\" loop=\"\" muted=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2024\/12\/09_MOZILLA_TYPOGRAPHY.mp4\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMozilla isn\u2019t your typical tech brand; it\u2019s a trailblazing, activist organization in both its mission and its approach,\u201d said <strong>Lisa Smith, global executive creative director at JKR. <\/strong>\u201cThe new brand presence captures this uniqueness, reflecting Mozilla\u2019s refreshed strategy to \u2018reclaim the internet.\u2019 The modern, digital-first identity system is all about building real brand equity that drives innovation, acquisition and stands out in a crowded market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Our transition to the new brand is already underway, but we\u2019re not done yet.
