Branding Mozilla, Firefox

9 Feb 2004

The Mozilla foundation renames Firebird into Firefox as it polishes it to version 1.0. I find its new icon truly elegant and beautiful. See for yourself:

Steven Garrity has a nice post about his and his team job in branding Mozilla, starting with Firefox. I'm looking forward into seeing new icons for the rest of the Mozilla family.

P.S. : Jon Hicks did the rendering with Fireworks, amazing.

It's a great logo. Cannot quite make out the land mass on the globe, perhaps it's purposefully generic.

I'm wondering why the amazement at the use of Fireworks. I've always felt, since it's 1.0 release, it was a better one-stop package for web graphics than Illustrator or Photoshop were. The combination of vector and raster graphics is very well done, allowing some nice affects (which, if I read Jon correctly, is why he used it for the logo).

Rent a flat in Paris

Going to the City of lights for a short stay? I have a flat to rent in Paris. Roomy (up to 6 people), comfortable, calm, fully furnished, modern, with broadband internet, private terrasse, garden and parking… You'll love it (I did when I lived there!). Visit appartement-jardin-paris.com for more information and booking.
Paris Web 2015, October 1-3, 2015. Web design, quality and accessibility. I’m going!
