Firefox Logo: Is This A Fox Or Panda? - Easily Explained

2023 Author: Sheila Hailey | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-08-25 04:29

The English word "Firefox" is also the name of the red panda (Red Panda = Firefox). Therefore, people wonder whether the animal in the Firefox logo should now represent a fox or a red panda.

Solution:

It is a fox (it was confirmed in the Mozilla forum)

Explanation:

• Basically, "Firefox" refers to a "red-brown panda". However, this can also mean a "fire fox".
• Logo designer Jon Hicks did not like the red panda as a logo design.

• Instead, he liked a design with a fox that he had created so far and that was based on a Japanese image.

  

• Therefore, a red fox was ultimately depicted on the logo.
• The final design was a concept by Daniel Burka, which Stephen Desroches sketched in pencil.
• Jon Hicks then rendered the finished logo to the version we know.

CONCLUSION: The animal in the Firefox logo should actually be a fox. The first thought when translating into German (Fox = Fuchs) is correct here.

Nice to finally be certain. So far I have always assumed that it is a fox, because "Firefox" translated into German also means "fire fox". I didn’t know that it actually means a red panda. how do you see it? Would you have preferred the red panda in the logo?
