Microsoft Reveals New Logo for Microsoft Edge

Firefox Developer Edition logo for comparison:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;upload.wikimedia.org&#x2F;wikipedia&#x2F;commons&#x2F;thumb&#x2F;3&#x2F;30&#x2F;Firefox_Developer_Edition_logo%2C_2019.svg&#x2F;749px-Firefox_Developer_Edition_logo%2C_2019.svg.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;upload.wikimedia.org&#x2F;wikipedia&#x2F;commons&#x2F;thumb&#x2F;3&#x2F;30&#x2F;Fi...</a>

As far as analogies go, I think it&#x27;s closest to the <i>chromium</i> logo [1], when kinematically interpreted as some sort of extruding shell segments [2], or blades of an aperture (<i>Aperture Science</i>). Overall it&#x27;s visual language elements are surely intentionally aligned well centered in a space between <i>IE</i> ℮, <i>Chrome</i> and <i>Firefox</i>.<p>[1] current: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;commons.wikimedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;File:Chromium_11_Logo.svg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;commons.wikimedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;File:Chromium_11_Logo.svg</a><p>[2] old chromium(2009-2011): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;commons.wikimedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;File:Chromium_Logo.svg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;commons.wikimedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;File:Chromium_Logo.svg</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;codereview.chromium.org&#x2F;2806029&#x2F;patch&#x2F;1&#x2F;61" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;codereview.chromium.org&#x2F;2806029&#x2F;patch&#x2F;1&#x2F;61</a>

So, like... does EVERYONE think it looks too much like the Firefox logo, or...

I hope they have as much success with this as they&#x27;ve had with VS Code and I&#x27;m looking forward to trying their first release of Edge on Linux. It will be great to have the choice of a non-Google, WebKit based browser from a major distributor who has the resources to keep up with and challenge Google on things like Manifest v3.<p>I find it somewhat ironic that the most used software I&#x27;m running on my Linux desktop, VS Code, is a free and open source Microsoft product. It&#x27;s also the product that really enabled me to make the switch in comfort. Maybe soon though I&#x27;ll be using Bing more too (among others like DDG) if Google decides to completely remove URLs from search result links.

It reminds me of <i>The Great Wave off Kanagawa</i>.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa</a>

The further they can move away from the legacy of Internet Explorer, the better.

I can totally see this confusing less technically literate people. I think too many people are trained to just click the blue E.<p>I think I do like it. I think it fits what Microsoft is trying to do with their design scheme.

It&#x27;s the &quot;c&quot; of Chredge, isn&#x27;t it?

Firefox Nightly, I&#x27;d say: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pbs.twimg.com&#x2F;profile_images&#x2F;1160831232357351425&#x2F;dlf0xXz1_400x400.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pbs.twimg.com&#x2F;profile_images&#x2F;1160831232357351425&#x2F;dlf...</a>

If you rotate 180 degrees up, it looks like a “G” which I guess is appropriate as it is based on Chrome’s rendering engine.

Looks mostly like the Firefox logo

I don’t hate it, kinda cool actually, but missing something. Perhaps text.

I like it.

I’m not sure I’m a fan. It’s like a profile shot of a laughing bulbous head. It says supermarket brand laundry detergent to me.

Well now if you&#x27;re colour blind you may not know if you&#x27;re clicking on Firefox or Edge.

Most comments say it either looks like Firefox’s logo or Chrome’s. I think it’s kinda both.

Good logo but that is not going to have anyone start using edge. They offer nothing new. I think brave is far better and innovative browser if anyone wants to try something different then chrome or FF.

Is there a source that us with ad blockers can see?

It looks very underwhelming and lacks personality.

It screams “impending doom” to me.

I thought they were replacing edge with Blink soon?

Microsoft reveals new browser for Microsoft Edge.

I just see ansolutely no reason why I would use microsoft edge

They might be sued: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.newmoney.gr&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2019&#x2F;07&#x2F;cosmote-1-550x413.jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.newmoney.gr&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2019&#x2F;07&#x2F;cosmote-1...</a>

It&#x27;s an endless joy for me when Microsoft fails to get traction with their new shiny browser and changes something as a fresh start.<p>It&#x27;s a decent browser but never again IE. Keep rebranding the browser downloading tool, Microsoft.<p>That said, these days I am annoyed by &quot;This browser is not supported, use Chrome&quot; messages. Maybe the the history does not repeat but rhymes after all.<p>Browsers should be made by non-profits like mozilla, in my opinion.
