I dunno, I kinda like it. Besides, anything's better than having that damned "e" everywhere... ;-)

You're right, the blue is just so, blah. But a phallus? hmm, sometimes a lizard is ... just a lizard.

made me think of suse there for a minute. not bad, though. i'd go with a suse green, though. ooooohhhh - how about taking the curve created by the tail, making it more of a circle, and animating it as a phase-shifting moon inside the curve? sounds like a cool activity ticker to me.

The shape is so-so, but the color is about as grim as the OpenGL logo (www.opengl.org)

i like it

That's a really neat logo, but it could've been stylized. I like the use of flat color, though - friendly for silkscreening, which means I can buy a tshirt with the gecko on it.

The Gecko logo has been on the BLKMRKT.COM website for quite a while. BLKMRKT also designed the original Mozilla - Free the Lizard poster/shirt. See http://www.blkmrkt.com/design/ and click Netscape.

If you change the color to purple-ish brown(?), the shape is perfect for an O'Reilly book on Gecko.

Very cool. And I kind of like the Netscape Blue. Much better than, say, flourescent orange. ;-)

Yeah I can see the Julia Set in the feet. May=be I should take some more drugs.

No if it was an Escher-esque lizard then we'd have story.

I am sorry, but that colour is too similar to the 'e' colour in IE. Why isn't it Netscape green?

It looks familiar, I think there was a more lizzard like version as a throbber.

BTW why isn't this thread in my.netscape.com?

its lookes like Chemlon borwser.

Just remember this Nescape set its color scheme way before IE picked the blue e.

Nice logo... how about a easter egg..the gecko sticking it's tongue out and swallowing the 'e' ?

I kind of like it as well. Looks to me like Aztec/Mayan style lizard. Or maybe polynesian.

Thanks to all for the generally positive feedback! FYI, this will be the official Netscape Gecko logo. It is intended for use by products which embed Gecko and wish to signify this. Neoplanet 5.0 obviously qualifies. Its use is completely voluntary, of course; products which embed Gecko are not required to use it. [This should go without saying, as Gecko is MPLed, but lest anyone worry, I wanted to point that out.]

A while back, I solicited input on mozilla.layout about how developers would like to use a logo and what their needs in a logo licensing program are. Defining the user-friendly self-service logo licensing program has been on the back burner for a while, so there's still time to email me your needs in a logo licensing program.

Like the name "Gecko," the logo itself is a Netscape trademark, and its reuse will be authorized under the TBD logo licensing agreement. Hence the legal disclaimer on the Neoplanet page as a gentle reminder that the logo shouldn't be copied and pasted all over the web (or onto toilet paper, cereal boxes, or dog food) without permission.

Since we don't have the logo licensing agreement finished yet, I'll authorize use by products that embed Gecko on a case-by-case basis in the meantime. If you have a products that embeds Gecko and wish to use the logo, just email me.

Participants in the BugAThon can expect to see the logo showing up on their T-shirts and launch party invitations.

Happy hacking!

It's fantastic! I love it. Somehow I don't think people would confuse this with IE, maybe because this is in the shape of a ... gecko.

And the head is not phallic ... heheh try reading THAT out of context. I don't know about the fractal feet, it stretches the imagination a bit.

Someone turn this into a throbber!

-=Yusuf=-, gazing at the Lizard

It looks ok. But, just like some of the others said. ANYTHING is better than the E

Could've used this BEFORE the animation contest..
