branding firefox / journal / hicksdesign

Shortly before Christmas, I had an email from a chap called Steven Garrity, who works for Silverorange, and runs a blog called ?Acts of Volition?, in which he publishes a radio show on regular basis. (really worth a listen BTW). He asked if I would like to join a recently created Mozilla branding team, with the immediate aim of producing a new logo identity for the Firebird browser, soon to be renamed firefox (Ben Goodger has written up the reasons and process for the name change). The branding team came into being after Steven wrote an article recommending changes to Mozilla?s existing branding. I jumped at the chance, and today Firefox 0.8 is finally released, and the work is no longer confidential.

Explanation of the origins of the Firefox logo.  I remember seeing other versions, when the browser was in early beta when they were still figuring out the name and all of the browser.
