Default Firefox Mobile Gets A Logo

http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2009/1...sign-challenge/

"The results from the Mozilla Creative Collective's "Firefox Goes Mobile" design challenge are in, and I'm happy to announce that the winner is "Pocketfox", by Yaroslaff Chekunov. As the official emblem of the upcoming mobile version of Firefox, we'll be using this image as an avatar on social networking sites, on mozilla.com, on t-shirts and more. It makes a great addition to our portfolio of Firefox imagery!"

Somehow, hiding in a pocket isn't quite what I expected - but I'm not sure any of the runners-up were any better in capturing what Firefox could potentially bring to mobile browsing. At least, this has the advantage of simplicity. Agree, disagree? Sound off in the comments.

I think it is kinda cute. You can throw your 'fox' in your pocket and go. I get it. Haven't been paying attention actually. Is FireFox Mobile an actual browser, or yet another 'client' that relies on host side processing.

Default I Like It

I think it's kind of cute, too. I like it more than the Mozilla "monster".

I like it too. The Firefox tail is a recognizable logo, thus one wouldn't have to have the whole logo showing in the pocket for it to be recognized as being something that is portable.

The logo looks good, very good job of the designer. I would also like to see more of the fox, not only the tail. I am really looking forward to the mobile version of FF. It will be interesting to see for which devices mobile FF will be available.

Is rather cute - but if it takes them as long to release Mobile FireFox as it has for Thunderbird 3 to reach RC stage that visible tail may be heavily tinged with Gray!
