The name says it all (the icon while cool in my view is incidental to the name of the browser) which is all about a legendary creature that is incomparable in dominance and power over all other living things --- While it's whatever you want to think of as the mightiest of all beasts, I personally like to think in terms of the "mightiest of dragons" and who doesn't love the grandeur mystique of legendary dragons?
--- If you have any problems with the linked websites use the mighty Basilisk browser... )

Cats, who needs 'em? You may love them, but they don't love you. You feed 'em, give 'em something to claw on, other than that, they don't wanna know ya. If yours is giving you a different impression, you're being lied to.
reaching this conclusion) I would have personally preferred a more exotic "cat" logo, i.e. something in the form of a cat silhouette perhaps. Perhaps you did not read the following part of the rules of the context that you have yourself linked:van p wrote:deckie49, this issue was litigated months ago (but I agree the right decision wasn't made).

As illustrated in this screen-shot of the post: As to whether it was the "right" decision, I guess that is clearly subjective.... I personally feel the Basilisk logo is simple and clean so see no reason to assume it does not qualify as a "right" decision any more or less than any of the others.... and as to "popularity", I have no idea of course...Initial selection of designs will be decided by the community/users - final selection will be done by me (Moonchild).
We reserve the right to disqualify designs that do not meet quality, design or ethical standards, in our sole discretion, regardless of popularity.
Of course you have every right to not like the results and I totally respect your personal opinion in that regard. (let me be clear, I intended no disrespect).van p wrote:Pale Moon Rising, I'm not ignoring/denying the rules (they're history anyway and I don't think they're particularly relevant at this point or to this discussion), just not liking the results, as others above. Having said that, I may try the browser after it's got some history behind it and things have settled down.
(I would submit that whether the rules are "history" or not doesn't change this fact in as much as the entire topic itself is looking back on an event in the past
