My response to the new Firefox icon
There's a new Firefox icon coming and I'm a bit disappointed. The original is very strong but has a few flaws that I've long wanted to see improved, yet the new design hasn't addressed them. So I've taken a crack at it and hastily made a mockup of what I'd have done.
My main goals were:
- Fix the shoulder so the arm actually looks attached to the firefox's trunk
- Make it feel 3d - instead of flat drop shadows my design has shading; instead of a flat tail that's been curled it has a real tail that wraps the globe
- Explain wtf the firefox is doing - in my version, he's a curious animal looking into a glowing globe
- Ditch the splotchy non-earth planet

This isn't perfect by any means, but it gives an idea of what I tried to accomplish.
