Firefox Logo Inspires Artists

The Mozilla Firefox web browser logo has become one of the most recognizable logos on the internet. Artists around the world have drawn inspiration from this logo, incorporating it into a variety of art forms.

The Firefox logo that we know today was based on a sketch by Stephen Desroches. Using Desroches’ sketch, Jon Hicks created a full-color digital design – the logo that is now very familiar to internet users.
