Some thing i (as a designer) really don´t like: the different look&feel in the mozilla product-family. i like the thunderbird, firefox and sunbird and lightning logos most. they are round (easy to place), feel and look good and make a pretty professional feeling. AND every "main"-product has got an animal as logo and name. in my opinion a good choice. every brand and/or company has a system behind naming their products/works. e.g. volkswagen has names of winds for their cars. and this is something i really miss in the mozilla-projects. a "red line" through all of your products-names and -logos. i would suggest to first re-think the name "sumo" and instead thinking about an animal (e.g. the QA-Departments Duck-Suggestion for QACs)... i shouldn´t really be an owl. maybe there are other animals who own the adjective "wise". summary of my suggestions: - choose a new name (animal reknown for his/her wisdom) - repeat the outer shape of logos of your most popular products within the mozilla-product-family - one animal surrounding (on max. 3 sides) a product that stands/needed for searching/knowledge wish you best.

The fun isn't over yet... and I'll be posting the first round of design concepts very soon. Don't think the suggestion of you as "Thor" made the cut though. But we always have <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/29142435@N08/2754672375/in/set-72157606466261519/" rel="nofollow">this</a> Great post, and pleasure working with you on this!
