I like the new changes done and it looks better now. But I I think it will be much better to put back the light shadow on the head. It makes it more real.

There are a lot of good comments above that I really agree with (accept about the @, I don’t like that). But I would like to add that the connection between the body and the wing should be less hard. Maybe a few feathers to merge the join better.

I vote that the new Thunderbird icon looks a little too gray. Anyone with me? The envelope just looks a little “sickly”, especially when scaled down on the Windows 7 taskbar. Maybe it’s just because he sits between the Firefox and Outlook icons, which are bright orange and bright yellow, respectively. I think most “professional” icon designers have tried to make their colors cheery and “pop”, and thus, sadly, I think the Thunderbird icon has to join the foray. That said, the overall, new, detailed design is rather attractive!

The new thunderbird icon is really cool. I really like it. It’s very refreshing. Is it the final version?

“The icon is being rendered by Anthony Piraino at the Iconfactory.
Changes in this iteration:
* removed seal from previous iterations;
* added detail to the envelope;
* feathers shaped to be slightly more accurate”

This is a better and more defined icon. What is the website of the person who made this?

Not sure what wing is the left and what is the right, our right or the birds? :)
Anyway, Mirek2 mentioned that the wing could be more connected to the body, and I came to think about this as well. It worked great on the older, less detailed logo, but tend to look slightly glued on on this more detailed version.

Other than that, amazing work on this so far!

I have also discovered, that new “envelope” icon should be used not only for .EML files, but for “mailto:” internet shortcuts in Windows. Of course, we definitely NEED such “envelope” icon!
P.S. Nice to hear that Alex Faaborg is alive :), and watching Thunderbird logo creation process.
P.S.2: I have re-uploaded “Natural Bird Wings 2″ drawing, it is here now:

Doesn’t that mean the TB logo should be on the right side of the wordmark on:

> Are you going to have Anthony create a similar envelope icon for file type associations in the OS?

A good .eml icon would be a huge boon!

very cool analysis, and one of the reasons that I was really happy to hear the same designer would update both icons in quick succession :)

Really coming along well. I would try to increase the range of contrast in the feathers on the wings, with lighter feathers on top and darker feathers on the bottom, and also try to overlap them and stagger them a bit with shadows to add a little more detail and dimension. In the previous icon and in these new iterations the feathers on the wings all seem to line up in a series of rows, which doesn’t seem all that natural. The staggering of feathers that is starting to show up at the top of the head looks good.

Personally I really liked the crisp white envelope from iteration 1, but this envelope also looks good, especially with hte increased detail (just a bit more aged, but not as aged as the very yellow envelope in the original icon). I would personally go for a more reflective surface on the envelope as well, but that’s likely a debatable decision.

Are you going to have Anthony create a similar envelope icon for file type associations in the OS?

The smooth indentation for the eye looks absolutely fantastic!

I still like my original idea of incorporating orange in the logo; solidifies the connection to Firefox and visually looks attractive.

better :) anyway, I finally discovered what seal (It2) you all were talking about :) with the bottom flap detail of It3, and the seal if It2 (maybe a bit bigger/more detailed), and the outer feather “bulges”, it’d be fantastic. though, as my colleague pointed out, it seems to him that the wings “grow” from an unnatural position. dunno about *that* though ;)
