			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was just reading a post and someone mentioned offhand a browser that I hadn&#8217;t heard of, so I thought I&#8217;d share. Shiira is a new open-source product for the Mac based on the Safari rendering engine &#8211; details <a title="Information about Shiira" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiira">here</a>.</p>
<p>I can only assume that <a href="http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/">Jon Hicks</a> was involved in the design &#8211; look at the logo below, then think about Firefox. I&#8217;m not complaining at all &#8211; love the fishy logo.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I saw a really interesting presentation at <a href="http://www.vivabit.com/atmedia2006/">@Media</a> last week, where the panel included <a href="http://hicksdesign.co.uk/">Jon Hicks</a>. Jon was responsible for the design of the Firefox and Thunderbird logos. Unfortunately I picked that day to wear a Firefox t-shirt, so ended up feeling like a bit of a groupie, or whatever the equivalent is in geeky circles.</p>
<p>Although this is probably a lifelong undertaking, I&#8217;m starting to learn about typography. I find it fascinating how very subtle changes in the structure and shape of a typeface will result in a completely different message being conveyed with the design.</p>
<p>This was demonstrated rather nicely by Jon by putting up the original Sex Pistols poster using a <a title="Example of the messages conveyed in choice of typeface by Jon Hicks" href="http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/good-design-vs-great-design">different typeface</a>. The result is very amusing, and makes it very obvious how the correct use of typography in a design will have a massive impact on the impression that people come away with.</p>
