Blog: Remain Calm: the fox is still in the Firefox logo – The Firefox Frontier

If you’ve been on the internet this week, chances are you might have seen a meme or two about the Firefox logo.

And listen, that’s great news for us. Sure, it’s stressful to have hundreds of thousands of people shouting things like “justice for the fox” in all-caps in your mentions for three days straight, but ultimately that means people are thinking about the brand in a way they might not have for years.

People were up in arms because they thought we had scrubbed fox imagery from our browser. Rest easy knowing nothing could be further from the truth.

We didn’t get rid of the fox then and have no plans to do so now, or ever. Plenty of folks jumped in to try and clear things up in the original thread, but once the “they killed the fox” meme caught momentum and became the “Firefox minimalist logo” meme, there was no stopping it.

Call me old school, but I prefer the first gen and second gen logo above all the others lol

I don't care how they justify it... In fact, they did kill the fox. It doesn't take a Picasso-minded genius to see that.... I quite like the First gen. logo, the second and third just shininess I don't really care (personal preference), Lastly the fourth one is a great alternative for the less is more crowd like me... Though, the one that came after........

All i can say "....................................", Pure sarcastic silence.

It will evolve into the Nine Tailed Fox

I like this one:

But seriously, they should rather focus on improvements inside their organization and browser itself rather than some discussions around the icon.
