2004-2009 were the golden years... Although I'd gladly use it if it had the 2002 logo my reference
Bring back 2005!
im not sure whether i like that one or the 2009 one better tbh.
I have no memory of the 2002 one and I swapped over from Netscape which is weird.. I have a vague memory of their thunderbird logo looking similar at one point but maybe I'm getting them mixed up
Didn't it used to be called Firebird or something but had to change its name due to copyright? I remember when it was v1 and seeing advertising about it in the paper. It really did start the ball rolling in getting people away from IE. Chrome then came out and dominated.
I remember installing Firebird 0.6 off a magazine cover disk!
I think I switched back to Mozilla pretty quickly as I was like "but this is just a browser, where's email and IRC"
I guess I didn't originally get the point. Ended up switching back a couple of years later
I'm fine with the current logo. But, the 2002 logo looks rad. After that, the logo from 2004 is cool.
