Creation of Firefox Logo : Jon Hicks, Daniel Burka & Stephen Desroches

FireFox is easily recognized by their logo as it sits on hundred of sites and computers thanks to the worldwide fans who want to spread firefox. There is a good chance you have seen the fiery fox wrapped around the globe.

Do you have any clue as to who actually sat down to create the wonderfully clean image that is Firefox’s identity?
Devian Art reports - “The gentleman’s name is Jon Hicks, a freelance designer from the UK. And such a generous Hicks he is that he put up the creative process that went into its design on his personal website. (It should be noted that Daniel Burka created the concept and Stephen Desroches sketched it. It was only rendered by Hicks.)”

Hicks posts on his website - “The final chosen design was a concept from Daniel Burka and sketched by Stephen Desroches, which I then rendered using Fireworks MX. I’ve been using Fireworks over Illustrator or Photoshop for icon design as I love the way I can work in vectors and see the result in pixels, rather than smooth vectors. The updated gradient tools in MX make this possible too.”
