Pocketfox now Fennec’s new logo
Mozilla has announced the result of their Mozilla Creative Collective’s “Firefox Goes Mobile” design challenge, and reported the winner was “Pocketfox”, by Yaroslaff Chekunov.
Yaroslaff, who is based in Krasnodar, Russia, cites as his design inspiration, “the Firefox itself, your approach to the web-site execution, and of course my wife who always brings up new ideas.”
The official emblem of the upcoming mobile version of Firefox will be used as an avatar on social networking sites, on mozilla.com, on t-shirts and more.
Do our readers feel the logo is dynamic enough to represent something as important as a cross-platform mobile browser? Let us know in the comments.

I don't like it. It's a cool idea but i don't think it works as an icon. too complex, not easily identifiable and not very neat. Doesn't matter to me much because i wont be using Fennec until they sort out all their problems and the others have a big head start.

Took the words out of my mouth… the concept is cute but it's too vague as an icon… on a tiny mobile screen all you'd see is a blue oval with a bit of orange on it.

Apparently, Fennec is a bottom into fisting.

Compared to the other logos I've seen, this is actually brilliant.

GREAT! nobody had to explain me a word, to instanty figure out it's a FOX IN A POCKET.
Logos doen't need to be anything just be memorable. I'm not going to forget this one.

I think the logo's fine but the browser is going to have to do all the talking.
