I was going to ask “Please forgive my ignorance, but where is the guide?” but then I re-read it and spotted the link.

Just a small advice, feel free to ignore: Could you add a subtle underline of links on your blog, or maybe change the color slightly? I’m not sure if it’s just my poor screen, but I can barely see links on your blog without hovering over them with the mouse. A nice trick if you don’t like the traditional underline look of links: a:link {border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc}. Cheers!

Thanks, all, for the comments. Some specific thoughts:

@Dolske – will check into this, thanks.

@Fligtar – great idea. We’ll definitely add this to the next iteration of the guide.

@Alex – good thoughts. Building our design community is one of my top goals for the next six months, and I sincerely hope that this guide facilitates that as opposed to being any sort of discouraging force. Future versions of the guide will likely have more positive examples of community art as references, and Tara and I are working on a larger program to get more designers involved in Mozilla. Stay tuned for more about that soon…

I understand that we have to protect our trademark, but I also find it a little disconcerting to see community generated artwork with a large X over it. Of course I’m looking at this from the perspective of trying to figure out how we can attract more designers into our community, as opposed to how we can maintain control over our ability to go after malicious copies of Firefox (which means we have to actively show we are protecting our logo).

Is there some middle ground? Some way we could instruct people that they are encouraged to create derivative work but they have to [idea here]? Some way we could enable and encourage this type of design work without losing control of our own logo?

Looks great John.

One thing I’d like to see, perhaps on the “responsible use” page, is a note on updating the old 1.0 logo with the new logo, and how to tell the difference. It seems like more news articles and sites use the old logo than the new one.

Something’s funky with the high-res images…

EG: on http://www.mozilla.com/img/tignish/about/logo/download/logo-only.png

The dropshadow seems to be pixelated along a 5×5 grid.
