Final Firefox 3.5 update: a new logo

A few weeks ago, and despite the proximity of Firefox 3.5 final release, Mozilla announced its intention to revisit the logo for a subtle update that reflects the deep changes it has experimented in the last three major releases since its last retouch around Firefox 1.5 release.

In a post by Firefox User Experience team member, Alex Faaborg, he introduced the first of a daily series of logo proposals. Today's (shown next to the current and original versions) presents a rendering by Anthony Piraino, based on a conceptual sketch by Jon Hicks (the original logo creator) from November 2007, that "introduced additional detail to the fur, and the flames starting to wrap around planet mozilla which significantly modernizes and streamlines the appearance of the icon."

@1.1 Sir, I needed a laugh today. You just provided one BIG TIME!

The logo looks cool, though. So I guess it's an oxymoron logo? A cool, fiery logo?

I like it.

The "Proposed Version" is really dark, and I don't like it much. It looks kind of tacky in a way.

The color and appearance of the one at the end of the article, though (under the update), is much more enticing to me. Looks sleeker and cooler than the proposed one.

I'm digging that one the most :D

Ya I had the same response from the proposed version, but the revised version fixes all the problems I had with the proposed version, so yay.

I really like the Proposed Version, looks awesome!

New World Order?

Wait, companies change their logos? Nah it must be fake./s

The updated version looks much better than the Proposed Version. However, I still think I like the current version better. The fur on the back is more consistent with the tail, giving the whole logo a more complete feeling. The new update makes him look rather flat, to be honest, and the tail doesn't wrap the globe as well.

I use Rocketdock and all hi res icons, this firefox icon blows the default one away. (you can get orange colours too)

The fourth logo looks better than the other three. I still think they should do something different. Either way Ill continue to use Firefox.

Nice concept. The fox appears to be on fire now, which makes sense, firefox became much hotter than before.

Any of you guys use the Personas yet in FF? Thoughts?

There's some pretty cool ones, but I am waiting for some good video game ones.

I still prefer FF overall, but Safari (on Mac) is a VERY close second now. It seems to load pages faster and cleaner.
