The new Mozilla Firefox branding

If you are just a little up to date with the web, then you have heard that a new milestone release of Mozilla Firefox has been available for a couple of days. The browser, going through another name change, previously called Firebird, together with the new name got a new branding. First thing to notice is the great new application icon, picturing a (Fire)Fox embracing a globe. A very good concept and wonderfully illustrated as vector art. The vivid colors really make it stick out of all the other icons in the dock/taskbar. The illustration was done by Jon Hicks, and over on his site he presents some information about the making of the icon.
After Mozilla Firefox has been the most advanced browser for quite a while now, it finally is given the sleek appearance that also makes it look as good as it is. Great work by the developers and designers.
