I rather liked the more aggressive look :)
Looking forward to it rolling out on the production build….

It looks very good!

Something's gone very awry with that forewing highlight 😲

I like both versions, looking forward to the new icon and look releasing

I didn't mind the earlier version, but looking again the pink colour seems an odd choice against the blue.

I noticed the changes right away. I also never thought about the meaning of the logo. After all, there is a deeper meaning that the bird protects my mails. Wow, that just "blue" my mind.

@e_sphaera Take a refreshed look -- we updated the image because something got lost between the PDF and posting it here (ended up a very "hard" pink instead of a subtle gradient)

You're my boy, Blue!

I DO NOT care much about the logo, but about stable functionality and a stable workflow!
Software is a tool, it has to be handy! We should not lose sight of priorities.
If i want ornaments, i'll buy a vase! 😎

Better but I preferred the original.

this feels much better. now...just issue it already

Sooo, can anyone tell me which one is less evil?

I like the improvement. Good job 👍

I like the new logo, but to me the right one looks annoyed. I think the eye gives it that look. I think the expression of the bird in the old logo was a bit better.

Lovin' the new look!

To me the detailless white eye looks intuitively blind. Matter of taste but feels like a simplification gone too far.

Your new logo looks really good

All I see is some creature with a huge mouth devour my mail. What is it meant to be?

@ampersand Haha, love the enthusiasm! There's a bit of legal stuff we have to take care of first. Look for it on version 115 this July!

@donmelton lol now he look sad 😢

For as much as I hate what I get in my email account, I didn't mind the first design. The new one is fine too.

The envelope doesn't look like a square envelope because it cuts off in the middle of nowhere. It can't get cut off because of the background and the blue "feather" part in the foreground has a bunch of empty blue background space between it and the envelope.
The flap also still makes it look like a clock especially for the android adaptive icon which this doesn't address. If someone who doesn't know what thunderbird is saw the android adaptive icon they would think it"s a clock app

I've only just spotted the speech bubble 😄 It is a speech bubble, right?

Still "sinister," IMHO. 🤔

People complained about this?!?! Glad you guys are listening to suggestions but that seems super silly lol.

still can't unsee the bird eating the mail whole, but i'm not sure that's a bad thing either.

@archer Thanks for noticing that!

I kind of like the predatory nature of a bird of prey. Kind of like a FOSS killing proprietary app look! 😂

@nnduc Ryan explains that in this blog post: blog.thunderbird.net/2023/05/i…

I think the new logo looks great! Still, I think there is something to improve. The pastel color palette of the new logo does not really harmonise with the bold one of Firefox. The logo also feels comparably flat, even though it uses additional shadow. Furthermore, the corners are way rounder and do not give the sharp feeling of the Firefox logo. To showcase the harmony and same heritage of Thunderbird and Firefox, the two logos should be similar regarding basic design principles.
