First post in this community, thought I’d start with something simple.
I think 2009 is my personal favourite, with 2013 in second.
I actually do really like the current logo, the purple is fun. That original one is wild though.
I used to prefer the 2017 one, but the current one has grown on me to the point where I feel pretty much equal on them.
Yeah the original logo is weird because it was made when it was still called Phoenix. I’m not a huge fan of it tbh.
Edit: Missed words
I do like the simplification of logos and icons, looks more neat so I prefer the newer logos though the older ones (besides Phoenix) arent bad either
2004 and 2013
I think 2017 hits the right sweetspot. Not too oversimplified (lookin at you, 2019) nor excessively realistic (2009 and before). Firefox and mozilla branding in genera looks fire (no pun intended) imo.

2017
2019 is best. gradation is beautiful.
A couple logos more and the fox is gonna disappear entirely, only to be reborn (?)
Coming full circle for the phoenix 😂
2005
I miss that semi-clipart style.
2005 looks best to me.
The tail in 2009 is my favorite
2005 and 2009
Besides 2019 (i love simplification) i would have to say 2005, that was my peak on the internet. lots of time spent as a teenager browsing random sites.
2005 is my favorite
2005 and 2009 for the clear detail, and 2017 for the simplification that still clearly conveys the logo.
Current isn’t the worst case of flat design on the web, but definitely 2005. Sad to see graphic design going backwards in detail.
