I came across some info on The Inquirer earlier today regarding Firefox’s logo (shown on the right) that’s being used for the Japanese version. As the link above states:

The new logo for its Japanese Fire Fox, Foxkeh, was apparently chosen out of a field of 600.

How could they not see the issue with the image before releasing it to the world?

Not that it matters ;) I like the logo - it implies that Firefox is shit hot, which I think it is :)
