I've long been a slave to the underdog browser Mozilla but sometime i use another browser known as Opera for testing purpose and checking the layout compatibility of my website.
While its market share may not be the greatest (though it does very
well with alternative devices), it's served me well the last few years,
staying fast and featured-packed.
The logo sucks though. Really. It's terrible. Firefox has a great logo, designed by Jon Hicks, as does Safari, Konqueror, Chrome and even IE.
But Opera's has always been an also-ran logo - too lopsided to hang out
in the dock, too simple to invogorate the imagination, too un-browsery
to evoke thoughts of zipping down the information superhighway
consuming content at breakneck speeds.
People have talked about it before. Some have suggested and designed alternatives.
However, the people at Opera (now including the aforementioned Jon Hicks, who credited Oleg Melnychuk with the new icon design) have listened and finally released a new logo. It's still not the greatest logo out there, but at least it isn't lopsided in the dock any more.
