It is actually the same old logo, but with some adjustments in its design to adapt it to mobile devices with low screen resolution.
Although according to what they tell us in FirefoxmaniaApparently the designers or members of the Mozilla creative team liked the new proposal for the rest of the devices.
I like the change, it looks much cleaner and more beautiful. We can compare it by looking at the following image that shows the evolution of the logo of Firefox since 2004.
You can see the detailed explanation of the design in the blog of Sean Martell.
offtopic mir already supports gnome shell, lubuntu, xubuntu.
And Kubuntu won't use it .. 😛
1) It will be difficult when having Ubuntu, you want to install Kubuntu Desktop
2) Mir in the end is going to come for ubuntu 13.10, with X in fallback mode.
And can't you just add the X11 codes to make fallback work?
apparently due to the constant friction between the people of Kubuntu and Canonical, Kubuntu will no longer be a flavor of Ubuntu but will become a derived distro (like Mint for example).
Hmmm it may be, yes, but things are going to get really ugly when they come to face the Wayland distros with which they have Mir ... it will not be pretty and we will have a lot of bad shots if we start to see applications that work in one and in another no and blah blah blah
They will surely give up for MIR and use Wayland by force (in case the users make Cannonical hear their voices, of course).
What is its source?

MuyLinux.com has that information. Check their news.
It doesn't support it, what it supports is Xmir which is basically a copy of xwayland ..
I think the fanboys will not understand.
A constructive criticism .. ..I think it would be much more orderly if the OT do them in the forum, where it is simpler to debate on the subject .. and we do not fill the post with comments that do not have to do with the subject of the same .. 🙁
As for the logo, the new one is good for its minimalism .. ..but it seems that the fox is missing hair .. xP
It is a nice version of the official logo, but the current logo (from 2009 to the present it has had its best version and I do not understand what the hell they are doing when using the Firefox 2.0 logo when putting the user agent in the comments ).
However, Iceweasel's loo deserves a version for low-resolution monitors as well.
It just seems to be the logo that was with the plugin at the time. When I get the svg with the new logo, I update for the one using Firefox 23 onwards.
Still, the Firefox logo is pretty neutral. Also, I have browsed the wikipedias of various languages and apparently the only one that had used the current Firefox logo in SVG was the French one. Anyway, I have seen a link that has the English Wikipedia that links to the website of the author of the current logo who has already published the logo in SVG of current Firefox.
So far, I'm still waiting for Iceweasel to make a low-res version of their logo, as the logo on the taskbar is pretty blurry (let's see if I take some time to adapt the Iceweasel logo to make it look good on the taskbar).
And detailing more about the logo that is currently used in Mozilla Firefox: http://blog.mozilla.org/faaborg/2009/06/18/the-new-firefox-icon/
Hope it can be vectorized with Inkscape.
It looks very flat, I definitely prefer the current one.
flat is the new black
Also, if you are short-sighted, you can easily distinguish it.
minimalism is the new fashion, see how long it lasts
It is a logo in the elementary style. I liked.
I love it! Very minimalist, similar to elementary ..
Very interesting but I use the faenza icons 😛
If you look at the 2013+ logo it is the same as that of 2009-2012 but in a minimalist way
They left it to such a degree that it looks like it was made by the creators of iOS 7. But it's great, it is.
I like it, I love that cleaner coloring, it looks great with my Nitrux icon theme 🙂
I get the impression that it was designed for iOS 7, although for someone who has vision problems, that new logo likes it, since now it is completely unmistakable.
I already uploaded it to wikipedia in Spanish
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox
(along with a screenshot on Debian).
What I need is to put the current Iceweasel in the current Wikipedia article, in addition to translating into Spanish the article in English that talks about the rebranding of all Mozilla products by the Debian project.
I imagine people who read the description of the image will ask "and what is Debian gnusequé?"
Tell him that this is the distro on which Ubuntu was based and that it is the one that can be installed even on cell phones and you will see how curiosity will be born in a jiffy.
It looks great, but it is also a reflection of fashion design when it comes to software: pure minimalism.
More osx style .., but hey, it doesn't matter XD.
Rather, iOS 7.
Is the prettiest one from 2004 or does it seem that way to me?
I don't know, but I like the current logo more than the 2004 logo (the planet earth looks like a crystal ball and the fox looks like it was made of fire).
I see it fome, when I see it closely, it does not look like a fox-
(and don't tell me it's a red panda, because it doesn't have that tail)
[sarcasm] The thing is that that tail belongs to the red panda, only these bastards set it on fire and from there it clung to a globe made of ice to put out the fire that the savage string put on its tail [/ sarcasm].
I support you, I also think that it is not a red panda (that has already been discussed a lot).
for you to believe me, see this page:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/partners/
They are going to see that the cartoon that appears there is nothing more and nothing less than a Fox.
Unless you have taken the trouble to read the English Wikipedia about the origin of the name >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox#Branding_and_visual_identity << although it was chosen to put the fox around the planet earth so that it was not a distraction element when working.
From what I read all the time I looked or wayland but the funny thing always depends on X, nothing new the two are doing, I thought they were going to make what is currently used obsolete and not make a combination, we are going wrong, there must be a third option.
Which? ASCII-style TTY?
I see it a bit flat but I like it is a bit more minimalist I like that, although the previous version was not bad either
The new logo looks pretty good!
Although until now I do not see that the Iceweasel logo receives any change, since unfortunately it is with the same logo and surely there will be one or another who complains (in my opinion, the Iceweasel logo is much more striking than the Firefox one, but it gives you a sense of encouragement that the Firefox logo doesn't convey to me).
Damn, what a mania with making icons increasingly flat. Well, what do you want me to say, to me putting flatter colors, removing details, dulling it, especially when the current one is not at all overloaded, it does not seem like any progress. It is not the tremendous shit (this always according to my humble opinion) that the Chrome / Chromium did changing a magnificent icon for a flat one that would play well with those of Windows 95, but it is seen that Mozilla's move goes along the same line .
I shit on the bloody fashions!
Well, I like the logo that appeared in Mozilla Firefox 3.5, and the truth is that this icon and the rest of the icons that follow the flat design are really made for people who have a poor vision or something like that. In any case, I prefer the previous logo for its quality of details and a realism made with gradients and well-made vectors.
Totally agree.
The truth is I do not care, they change the logo everything that comes to mind, I will change to Mozilla the day it stops working as Mozilla. The logo doesn't even exist on my desktop.
Firefox works wonders for me lml
