The icon or logo was initially &lt;a title="branding-firefox" href="http://hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/branding-firefox" target="_blank"&gt;designed and developed by Jon Hicks back in 2004&lt;/a&gt;.   Now it is seven years later and the wonderful logo that Mr. Hicks designed no longer seems relevant to the visual identity Mozilla has been creating with the &lt;a title="Delicious Design League" href="http://deliciousdesignleague.com/portfolio/?index=5#5" target="_blank"&gt;Delicious Design League&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is where I come in, I decided to take it upon myself to redevelop the Firefox logo, in a more appropriate Brand specific manner.  Below you can see the final comp I came up with and what it would appear like in context.  Like Mr. Hicks I went through hundreds of pen and pencil sketches before arriving where I did. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="350" width="350" alt="Firefox Icon" src="http://twenty3x.com/firefox/ff-icon.png" align="middle"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://twenty3x.com/firefox/browser.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;View In Context&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://twenty3x.com/firefox/ff-icon.zip" target="_blank"&gt;Firefox Mac Icon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

It was hand filed and hand sanded. Hammer marks were left on the blade to leave a rustic feel.  I used a Japanese technique to harden the blade to create a hard edge and soft spine, known as the Hamon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am waiting to sharpen the blade, but it is more ornamental than anything. I would like to make a wooden box to hold it next.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://23x.org/post/3545794098</link><guid>http://23x.org/post/3545794098</guid><pubDate>Sun, 27 Feb 2011 10:31:13 -0500</pubDate><category>diy</category><category>mods</category></item><item><title>Convert your 5th gen iPod harddrive to a flash drive</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/how-to/how-to-convert-an-ipod-hard-drive-to-compact-flash-127584"&gt;Convert your 5th gen iPod harddrive to a flash drive&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;I just finished upgrading my ipod.
