You know usually I'm not really that bothered no matter how ugly something like a logo/icons are, but dang..that is awful. I love blue too, so it's surprising that I think it's so bad. It reminds me of a goose. I agree with OMD, looks like a child made it.

Are you sure that's the final logo and not some pre-release nightly logo or something?

I sure hope that is some pre-release logo. What's with the crazy open source designers lately? First Ubuntu's brown skin, and now this?

I got a comment on the blog saying this was an old logo and they must just be reusing it for the trunk development. Hope that is true.

That's definitely the original logo.  Firefox had one too, back when it was still called Pheonix/Firebird.  It was the same image, but red.  When Firefox 0.8 (the first version to be called Firefox) came out, they changed both of the logos to what they currently are.  I think they are probably just using this for trunk development.

Thank goodness! I think they could have been more creative for the Trunk icon though. Maybe use a hand-sketched or black & white version of the logo?
