Feeling Fennec-y

Now that Firefox 3 is out the door, it’s a good time to look ahead to some other projects, like our mobile efforts.

At the request of Doug Turner and the Mobile team, I worked with Nobox to create a logo they could use in a variety of spots during the Fennec development process. (Big caveat: this logo has nothing do to with the final Firefox Mobile branding.) The result looks like this:
Fennec logo: fully rendered

There’s also a significantly simplified version that will be used in spots where the fully rendered one won’t work. The inspiration for both was an actual Fennec fox, although the image had to be toned down a bit so as not to overwhelm the cuteness filter on most handheld devices.

This logo has already popped up in the header of the new about:mobile newsletter…keep an eye out for it coming to plenty of other places soon.

@CraigB6 - the poster actually went on sale this week. I just did a blog post about it, but you can also find it right here: http://store.mozilla.org/product.php?code=14%2093123&catid=13. Supplies are very limited, so if you want one I recommend ordering soon.
