Remove copyright art from installer and Mozilla.org.

Post by **old jasonb** » March 11th, 2003, 6:50 am

Now that the questionably copyright art has been removed from the splash screen, are there bugs yet filed on removing it also from the installer and the Mozilla.org site? The dragon still appears in both of those places. It would be nice if we didn't have this "fractured" identity... (A few Bugzilla results pop up on a "copyright" query, but none of them pertaining to this.)

there's a bug for the installer - try searching for artwork instead of copyright (and if anyone else looks this up, please don't add comments saying that the new artwork sucks...)

no bug for the website art AFAIK, but bugzilla is a rather cumbersome way to coordinate changes to a webpage and it seems to get bypassed. there was discussion of reorganising the page in the minutes of the last mozilla staff meeting - maybe the banner will be changed then...

Hi!

I did open the issue in this forum a while ago:

I was under the impression that only the green dino was copyrighted. Obviously i was wrong...

Presumably about:logo and the unix icons need changing too....

Not just *nix icons, Win32 also.

Does this mean that the red dragon is illegal? Wasn't it made especially for Mozilla.org by someone?
I think it was, so what is the problem with (C)?

Then I take it you will also need to change the throbber.

Is the font that is used for the Mozilla logo legal?

Just want to make sure.

It's called the "Revolution" font, and the question was asked in the flash bug but no answer was forthcoming.

As for the throbber, yes, that would apply too. It seems to me that there are far too many areas still in existence with the old artwork that need to be changed. I'm not sure if this was all out thoroughly enough...

Hey...I just realized this all makes my Mozilla shirts either

1. Collectors items, or
2. Obsolete

Depending on which way you look at it. :lol:

I just filed a bug on this overall issue - but I won't link to it. Anybody who finds it, please do NOT comment on / debate the current artwork being used.

The font is <a href="http://www.fonts.com/findfonts/detail.asp?pid=401460">Revolution</a> from <a href="http://www.agfamonotype.com/">Agfa Monotype</a>. I'm not sure what sort of terms mozilla.org has licensed it under though.

It looks like if Mozilla bought it then they are fine; but I am not a lawyer.
