Good points? Whoever made that post reads too much into things that aren't even true:
* Long, sharp beaks are characterestic of nectar feeders, e.g. hummingbird, not "lethal predators".
* Hawk's beak is neither large nor particularly sharp; and while hawk is a deadly predator, and the new logo is hawk-like, I can't see the hawk as a bad thing;
* Everything else is purely subjective, too. "Dead white eyes convey malice"? OK.
Finally, re:"Message is mine, not yours"? Well, that's the entire point of an email client. It keeps the mail, it doesn't live on the server.
If that comes through the logo, then it's a job well done.

- StingyJelly 3y agoTrue but thunderbird's local folders are my favorite way to move thebacklog off the server. (Not sure how widespread that usecase is)
- romwell 3y agoSure, but having an offline copy with IMAP allows one to not depend on the server to work with your email. And if your account goes poof, you still have all your messages.
- JohnFen 3y ago> Everything else is purely subjective, too. Well, sure. Nearly anything anyone has to say about the logo is purely subjective. That's the way of art.
