Mozilla (mascot)

Initially the mascot took various forms, including that of a helmeted astronaut, but the eventual choice of a Godzilla-like lizard went well with the theme of "crushing the competition", and paid homage to the origin of its name.[4][5] Mozilla was featured prominently on Netscape's web site in the company's early years, but the need to project a more professional image (especially towards corporate clients) led to him being removed.A green and purple image of Mozilla was placed on every page of the site, which continued even after Netscape's disbanding when it was acquired by AOL.[citation needed] With the launch of the mozilla.org web site in 1998, the mascot was redesigned as a larger, fiercer red Tyrannosaurus rex.Subsequently, in July 2019, the latter had been replaced by "moz://a", in Mozilla's Zilla Slab Highlight typeface and within a rectangle of a tone or color contrasting with that of the lettering.
