Who are we wanting to download Mozilla? Gecko users, or IE users? Take a look at the site in IE (5.5) and you will see the site look quite bad. Just a thought...

In my copy of IE6 (which has the majority of market share thanks to "forced" upgrades), it looks just fine--identical to Mozilla.

I never liked the old, bony dino, but the site still looks amazing.

...am I the only one who thinks that Firebird icons sucks? Ugh, it's so uninspiring, the F is just weird looking, and out of place. The colors are annoying...
Anything but that icon, please!

Me likes. The F is supposed to look like a mix between a "F" and a wing. (A Firebird wing. ;)
Wish they would use it in the binaries instead of that ugly red flames icon...

I think that the 'F' could do better being a little smaller and to the bottom right (similar to the thunderbird flame)

I don't mind the logo, but I just don't understand the point of it. I mean it is not used in the actual browser - once you download it is the red flame thing. And it is different than any of the other logos on the page. No consistency. I would prefer one or the other.

What is the Firebird icon? A globe with a large flame in the shape of an "F" coming out of it?
What has that got to do with web browsers?
I thought that when Fb became mainstream it would be called mozilla browser so there's no need for a globe? or an F!
Long live the lizard!

Counter-question: What does a lizard head have to do with web browsers?

Well and that's happening when? "Maybe 1st quarter of 2004" was the last I heard.... Using a lizard head for a product called Firebird until then would surely not be the most intelligent thing to do, marketing-wise...

Neither would changing the name yet again. I mean I will have no problems with the name change but what about those that I have convinced to install a copy on their computers? I had enough trouble getting it on there and then to convince them that Firebird is Phoenix and now this...
The less name changes the better.

You know, it IS going to change name when 1.0/2.0 comes out, so why not make it now rather than later when more people will have heard/seen the *bird names? A lot of people had argued that *bird names were mistakes. We don't have to rehash it, but I'd rather get the name changes final as far as user experiences are concerned, then to get people familiar with F*bird, T*bird, and then get rid of those names.

Who cares more about the new roadmap than the new website or icons?

No, you're not. But things that exist are more likely to provoke discussion than things that don't. The lack of a new roadmap has been discussed a lot already. I'm sure there will be discussion of the roadmap when it eventually appears...

dont think so, unless AOL are letting Mozilla use the Netscape talkback servers, since talkback.mozilla.org is pointing there...
