I'm fielding requests now for the flat/one-color version of the firefox icon, and it would be great to be able to point them to the assets page

This is an interesting issue! How can we convey that first, you can use the glyph version of the logo only if it's its monochrome/gradient version and second point people to the right resource which is on the photon icons website.

I am thinking about adding a note/card to the product identity page that points people to the soon to be uploaded monochrone icon on the photon icons website. What do you think @designakt?

I am trying with and without glyph in the card.

I would make the flat icons a separate category on the page that talks about when it can be used, and make clear that it is an icon representing Firefox, and not the Firefox Logo! I think the use-cases are displaying the Firefox icon in:

• small sizes (favicon and identity box)
• inactive/disabled state when using the icon in product
• ...

@designakt do you know what color the favicon should be? is is up to the site or is there a set color you want?

[designakt]

@johngruen I don't think there is one specific color defined. That depends on the context.

@johngruen you can use this http://design.firefox.com/photon/visuals/product-identity-assets.html#icon-as-glyph, it's available as svg, pdf and png and has the default color specified.
