Found my first Firefox creation in tutorialfx.com

stevieg · 08-12-2006

Some of you may have seen my Firefox logo burning up The Internet Explorer logo. Over a year ago, my first attempt was just the E melting inside the Firefox logo, I sent it to Firefox.
The one I submitted to Biorust was the new improved version, extra flames etc. To my surprise, when I went to tutorialfx.com, I saw my first creation of it as a thumbnail for meta refresh. I saved it in my pictures, and enlarged it to make sure it was mine. No doubt it was mine, I remember I didn't do a great job of cleaning up around the left ear, and the melting effect.
I have mixed emotions from flattered to screwed. Unfortunatley the original was lost in a crash a few months ago when I reformated my HD.
Now that I think about it I guess I'm flattered!

well, since you say your HDD crashed, and you lost the proof, just be flattered and smile, and invest in a second HDD just for back ups

Hey Ghost,
Yes I would like to see it. It is identical to mine. If I made a mistake, sorry, but I could have sworn it was mine. How long ago did you create it?

hmm, i really would like ot see the logo too, not because it has anything to do with me but i geuss i would feel pretty screwed when someone else is using my logo, at the other hand the logo was worth using wasn't it?

well if someone could poste the link that would be great

I made it back when I released the site-end of TutorialFx (I use to only have forums). The site was introduced on January 4, but I had a beta open to my staff long before that.

You can see the news topic for the opening date here.

Have you got a link to yours so I can see it? If your talking about this one then I can't see one similarity between either of them...

I'll PM my .psd of the icon I made.

It's probably best if you don't make assumptions straight away without knowing the truth...

The TRUTH is I created one identical to yours well over a year ago. The one in the gallery is a redo of the original NOT the original, with some changes. Unfortunatly I had to reformat my HD several months ago and I didn't save the original. I came up with the idea of firefox burning up the IE logo and sent it to firefox well over a year ago. The point is I dont really feel the need to prove anything, and I've already said I apologize if I made a mistake. However I still maintain, without doubt, that the original idea of the firefox logo burning up IE logo, came from my head. If you also had the same idea, it just proves great minds think alike!

Too true I guess, lol.

I wanted to put both IE and FF together in the one icon. I made up the css icon, but thought the icons were too small, so I tried to merge the two together, and that's what I got.

Anyway, glad that's sorted out :P
