Mozilla Firefox Logo Evolution

Hey readers, it is Throwback Thursday. Time to look back and see what’s changed in internet marketing.

Today’s focus – ­­­­­­­­­­­­Mozilla Firefox Logo Evolution.

Remember what browser you were using way back in 2002?

Remember this “flaming duck” logo? A so called Phoenix that for some may even invoke the sounds of a dial-up modem?

If you thought, “Hey that looks like an old school Firefox logo”, then you would be correct.

Originally a phoenix with wings outspread to match the program’s original name: Phoenix.

For legal reasons, the name was changed to Firefox and the logo redrawn as a fiery fox wrapped around a globe.

The logo was revised and updated later, fixing some flaws.

The shape of the tail was modernized by giving it a 3D look i.e.

• wrapping tails behind the globe
• updating the texture used for the Firefox and the globe
• slightly reducing the overall level of visual complexity in the icon
