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.

eh...
That logo is funny.
Me likey
I did that once with a real fox, not a good idea.
Funny logo, yet quite likeable
It doesn't seem memorable enough.
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.
Bad
Awww It's so cute

Greatest logo in the history of logos
"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!
This is cute ^.^
Wait, Firefox Mobile? What happened to Fennec? Or is that what they're calling it?
This article would be much better served if written by Jane.
it should have same same logo with the words '2GO'.
This is cute ^.^
Indeed. It's very adorable.
THIS is how you're supposed to carry around a firefox:

That is firefox mobile for women only
Now we'll see a bunny browser and the mobile version will be rabbits foot... *rolls eyes*
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.
Errrr.... Without see the text did anyone able to know which one is PCMark 2005, PCMark Vantage, 3DMark 2005, 2006, Vantage?
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.
question, does it run on android also? or is it Maemo only?
I think it works
Do a barrel role!
When will they have pocket Crysis?

All pdas/smartphones use blue backgrounds, or what are you saying?
