This is the Logo For Firefox Mobile

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

Is that a Firefox in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Logos are very important in the computing world. A single logo can easily identify what the product is, as well as emotions of love or hate. Think of all the times when you see a product logo or placement in a TV show or movie and you say to yourself, "Oh I have that one too!" or "Grrr, I really hate that company with that silly logo!"

Also, logos are what helps us identify programs through pictured shortcuts. While there's always text that accompanies the icon, we often look for the picture before the words.

Mozilla has one of the most iconic images in web browsers with its Firefox that wraps itself around a picture of the globe, and it hopes to repeat that success with the mobile version of the software.

Check out the logo named "Pocketfox," which the artist hoped to capture the image of "A handy browser which is always with you." Read the full blog post here.

I think if you didn't know what the Firefox logo looked like (a lot of mobile phone users won't) you wouldn't get it, a lot of people probably wouldn't understand that's a blazing fox tail coming out of the pocket.

"Is that a Firefox in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" is better than the logo.

Personally I need to see it ion a desktop first.. If that blue blends too well in, there's a problem. If it doesn't? Yey!

Wait, Firefox Mobile? What happened to Fennec? Or is that what they're calling it?

Good logo to convey the product name, not so sure it works for noobs.

Mozilla's Test Pilot logo is much better

Reminds me of old movies where having a handkerchief in a certain back pocket meant something is certain bars. Just something to consider when you make a logo.

Wow, awesome, we know what the logo is going to be...

I look forward to the next design contest to decide between calling it firefox-mobile, mobilefox, firemobile, or mobilefoxbrowserfire.

Maybe, after that, they will have a design contest FOR A MOBILE BROWSER.

I think some people are basing their comments on what they think of the logo(picture) by itself just looking at it, neglecting what they already know not even realizing they are doing it

as for a logo personally I think it stinks no ifs, ands, or buts. and as a few people stated, if you didn't already know what firefox is this logo definitely would be just that much worse. you should like see the fox peaking out of the pocket or something. heck, it should just be redone altogether period

then again if you don't know what firefox is I guess the chances are slim you would be using the mobile version.
