Thunderbird Email Client Gets a Brand New Logo https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2023/05/thunderbird-new-logo-revealed #thunderbird #opensource
@omgubuntu I don't hate it. It's cute.
@omgubuntu@floss.social I kinda like this and the way the wings also double serve as a speech bubble looks really cool, not a fan of the way the envelope fold looks and the out of place purple hint
@omgubuntu Looks really neat!
@omgubuntu I don't hate it..but my brain really refuses to like it if I have to let the old one go.
@moanos @omgubuntu
Honestly the logo is the 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 of Thunderbird's issues these days. I know a UI redesign is coming, and thank goodness, as this app is showing its age. (I still use it regularly though.)
@omgubuntu Mozilla gets way too much unjust hate for oversimplification, especially since this design is even more complex in parts, they're definitely going in the right direction with Thunderbird
@omgubuntu
Il semble agressif le piaf
@marnic @omgubuntu @thunderbird C’est parce qu’il est prêt à s’attaquer au problème…
@omgubuntu I think this needs to be flipped horizontally, and then it would look perfect.
@omgubuntu@floss.social maybe it could look better with more purple/cyan, similar to the firefox logo's gradient...
@omgubuntu oh boy, this will 100% confuse me when i think it's firefox lmao
@omgubuntu the beak is too sharp, looks like a pissed-off eagle (with angry eye). otherwise it is quite OK
@lecroix74 @omgubuntu it's not angry it's protecting your email
@omgubuntu Instead delivering your mail, they will be hoarding it now…
@omgubuntu loving that logo
@omgubuntu I definitely like it! Keeps the design language of Firefox’s icon. It brings a consistent look!
@omgubuntu looks like the new bird is giving you side-eye
@omgubuntu But why does it look so mean :(
@omgubuntu@floss.social it seems nice actually...
@omgubuntu
As others pointed, a bit mean in the looks. I'd argue it s disturbingly close to Iceraven's logo
@omgubuntu I like how it is now closer to the firefox logo. cool.
@omgubuntu
That's pretty cool!
@omgubuntu Looks more like a modern Mozilla-logo now :)
@omgubuntu
Nice! I like it!
@omgubuntu a logo redesign that (for once) isn't terrible !!!
@omgubuntu @zkat
Yet another logo losing it's detail.
@omgubuntu Looks better! On the old icon, the bird kind of look depressed
@omgubuntu I like it!
I hope the new Thunderbird 115 will look as new/good than it's logo.
@omgubuntu FIRST THEY CAME FOR /sbin/init
AND NOW OUR MAIL CLIENT ICON WAKE UP SHEEPLE
@omgubuntu I think the old Thunderbird logo holds up better than the old Firefox one did, but I guess having a more unified brand style makes sense.
Missed opportunity to have the wings be the parts curving up, carrying the mail on its back, though
@oac That sounds like a really sweet idea for an icon.
@omgubuntu
It bred with a fox ?
@omglinux
@omgubuntu I have been a Linux (especially Ubuntu) user for years and I have never needed to use it. It came into my life 3 days ago and I use it with love. Obviously the new one is not cute. But, no, I didn't hate it.
@omgubuntu looks good
@omgubuntu
I like both. The one on the left is hugging the mail. The one on the right looks cool.
Why not draw your own icon? It's open-source, so just change it to suit you.
