It must work on the web, obviously, so it must look OK on 8bpp. I'm not
a bitmap freak, so I don't know, if there are any tricks to make
high-color images look OK on 8bpp.
There must be a good static version, which we can use for icons, offline
etc.. If you have an animated version, that would be cool. We could use
that on the website and in the product (<about:welcome> and <about:>),
maybe even as throbber.
What do you mean with 3D? Real 3D or 3D effects?
Of course, 99,99% of all uses will be 2D, technically, so it must look
OK in that version.
More important for me is the content. It should be something
interesting, intelligent. It should look good, but not hunting for
effects like the Netscape 6 throbber does (or 3D text - yuk).
E.g. I like the Mozilla throbber, which Beonex Comm. 0.6 uses, a lot. It
is interesting; doesn't get boring after looking at it 100 times. Took
me quite some time to figure out how exactly the 2 images blend.
It would be nice, if a lizard would appear on the logo (showing the
roots), but that's not a requirement.

We have a cool text logo already, thanks to Dawn Endico of mozilla.org.
See the homepage.
BTW: The logo should also work as (shortcut) icon.
