I don’t like the tail nearly as much as the previous iterations–I like the rationale for the new “softer” look, but really, it’s supposed to be “FireFeatherfox”.

Better than previous renderings (with the exception of Stephen Horlander’s). I think it would look perfect if you took the fox from Mr. Horlander’s concept and put it over the globe in this rendering, but with the weird lower lighting removed from the globe.

I feel like the tail isn’t matchign the head now. The styles don’t seem to match. The tail seems to be floating off the planet, but the front is tightly hugging it.

My 2 cents worth (whatever that is worth these days): I think the fox needs more hair on his head. He looks bald and it reminds me of the really old version of the logo. (that’s how I would point out old logos to people “that’s the old one with the bald fox”)

Also right where the tail meets the body looks too thin. It just doesn’t look like it fits.

Between the last couple drafts I kind of liked the curlier flames better. These almost look like feathers.

Good work revisiting the logo to see if anything can be improved. I personally thought the current Firefox 3 logo was fine, but it is alway worth trying to see if anything needs freshening or improvement.

Hmm, so will this mean we will all have to buy all new Firefox shirts now? Or was that the idea?

I like it. The fox is a bit too dark, the tail doesn’t blend into the fox as well as iterations 1 or 2 did (there’s still that weird random bottom shadow), and the globe still features that awkward bottom glow (where did that come from?), but it really is almost perfect now…

My favorite is still Stephen Horlander’s too. Liked vivid colors of concept, this one looks way muted and flat…

The shape of the tail is fantastic on this iteration! Keep up the great work.

The first iteration I actually don’t like. Somehow the “flames” look too fat and they don’t seem to fit the rest of the body. Also the gradient from red to yellow seems a bit short.
Here’s another thing which I didn’t like about the other iterations either: The globe needs to be significantly less gloss to still fit the style of the fox.

The dark shaded parts on the tail (right side) are supposed to look like wrappers around the globe, but instead they look more like burns on a fox fur. Instead of «setting the globe on fire», it reads to me like «someone burned the tail of this poor fox».

It may just be the lack of final texture, etc., but my first thought when looking at this tail was “decorative plant”. No grand objections to the new design, though.
