I think it looks ~shit~ not to my liking. Why? Because the old one looked friendly and the new one looks fierce. This tendency is a disease with many objects nowadays. Cars especially. Everything and everybody wants to look angry and dangerous. And that's not a good thing.

After 10 maybe 15 years of "cute" logos and mascots, I welcome this change.

  I just don't really enjoy everything looking like it's about to attack me.

> I think it looks shit. Is there really no middle ground? It's either great or shit? Your comment sounds quite angry, is it the effect of the new logo influencing you? /s

Yeah, I'm surprised most people here are so positive about it. Why would we want an angry logo? Also, the new logo is heavily inspired by the Firefox logo, with the flamey tail. Which doesn't make sense, as Thunderbird has nothing to do with fire.

  > Thunderbird has nothing to do with fire maybe it's supposed to be evocative of pheonix from greek mythology - rising from the ashes. just checked the current firefox logo. i'd say it's neutral with regard to its mood - the eyes in the thunderbird logo set the tone.

    Maybe the bird is angry because thunder sounds kind of like an angry noise.

  I like the new logo, but hadn’t thought about the fire theme. Maybe they should’ve went for a more thunder-y, angular shape for the bird’s tail to better reflect the name?

I agree with you! The new logo looks outright predatory. I liked the old one more.

  I think it's supposed to look like it's aggressively protecting the egg.
