A New Firefox Logo for a New Firefox Era

[Imran]

The concept of what Firefox is has evolved quite a bit over the years. Not too long ago, it was a desktop browser, plain and simple. However, as the Web has grown and developed in new ways, so has Firefox – it’s now a browser for Android, Mac, Windows and Linux as well as an apps marketplace and a brand new mobile operating system. That’s a lot of change in a short period!

With all that in mind, we’ve decided that the time is right to reflect this ongoing evolution with a visual refresh of the Firefox logo and product icon. As you can see from the graphic above, the basic concept remains exactly the same, but it’s been modernized to reflect Firefox’s role in the ever-changing Web of 2013 and beyond.

I'm no expert on design, but these are my thoughts.

The lack of detail is from the current trend, but the 2013 FF Logo is the softer version of 2004 FF Logo.

The 2 are similar except where the emphasis lies;
2004: Vibrant Fox wraps Globe
2013: Globe wrapped by less vibrant Fox

The changes are so small that most users will probably not know the difference. I had to really take some close looks before I could tell the differences.

Thanks.

little differences in new logo than the old, hard to differentiate at first look, as Littlebits said..

It iis really great but until we look closely there would be no difference.
