Thunderbird Logo Update

The updated Thunderbird logo

Jon Hicks, with input from the Mozilla Visual Identity Team, has designed a beautiful new logo and icon for Mozilla Thunderbird. Strong imagery. Great colors.

The new icon hasn’t made its way into the Mac OS X Thunderbird nightly builds yet, but when it is included it will be a great compliment to the new Pinstripe theme.

    "Mozilla Thunderbird," "The application that gives email a big hug." :)

    Thats a shame, I was trying to go for more of a "P**s off! This is MY letter!" look...

    I love it! Any idea when it will show up in the nightlies?

    Oh, I /so/ wish that thunderbird would support either importing data from OS X's address book, or just used OS X's address book altogether...

    Totally beautiful icon. I think it's very, very cool how the mix of development prowess from the Mozilla programmers is mixing with the aesthetics of the mozilla visual identity team. A great partnership, for sure!

    I downloaded the April 25 nightly, and it's got Jon's icon. Thunderbirds looking real slick—makes me look forward to having all components of the mozilla suite in stand-alone form.
