Rockmelt
About: (Est. 2009) “Rockmelt is providing a fundamentally better Web experience by re-imagining the browser around how you use the internet today.”
Design by: N/A.
Ed.’s Notes: We covered Rockmelt’s logo back in 2011. I liked the end-of-the-world look to it. Bigger view of the logo below (or AtJ).
Relevant links: Detailed blog post from Rockmelt about the change.
Select quote: “The final concept started conceptually as a mobius strip, to represent the endless path you could take through the Internet. (Yes, we know a mobius strip is supposed to be connected, but that was gonna be really hard to pull off unless we changed our name to Bockmelt.)”
Thanks to Christopher Jones for the tip.
