Loading ...Meet the Fennec logo
Firefox Mobile (codename Fennec) development builds will now sport its own cool logo based on the plain globe icon of unbranded Firefox builds with a large fennec fox head overlaid. A fennec fox is a small large-eared Saharian fox and, according to te Wikipedia, the only fox species that can be kept as a pet though not domesticated.
There is also a simplified version to be used when a very small size is required.
Both versions were created by Nobox, the design firm responsible for the Firefox 3 robot, Operation Firefox, Firefox Campus Edition and other Firefox-related art.
John Slater, Mozilla Creative Director, notes that this logo “has nothing do to with the final Firefox Mobile branding” in the announcement post.
Fennec recently reached Milestone 4 with builds available for Nokia’s N800 and N810 Internet tablets and is expected to go final by year’s end.

Cool logo. A bit wide for a 16×16 format though. Could be more “square” if you know what I mean.
Damn you fennec and your large ears!!! :shakesfist:

Nice!
Only thing I would change is to make it a little less “angry”.
Since it stares the user straight in the eyes I think it would be better if the eyes showed a somewhat friendlier expression. No I am not suggesting a big smiling face, but when you look at a real live Fennec it looks more like a cat than an attack dog.

So I guess this means there’s no chance of ever acknowledging the fact that a “firefox” is a red panda.
Oh well. I like foxies.
