#Thunderbird family: Thank you for the wealth of feedback about our redesigned logo. We listened to it, appreciated it, and took some action.

Your loudest criticism was that our beloved bird looked a bit evil or sinister (left, version 7).

So, in this subtly improved version (right, version 7.5), we've rotated the eye and tweaked the gradient under the beak to look less harsh.

We think this results in a calmer expression, making the bird look less predatory and more protective.

The first Thunderbird 115 beta is now available, so if you're already running beta, please update.

This Thunderbird Beta includes the first "Supernova" UI features, which provide an updated user interface, designed to be more modern, customizable, and with code that is easier to maintain and improve.
