I always love to see how these things evolve.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>sodapopcan</author><text>Ha, interesting points, but it&amp;#x27;s all a matter of perspective.&lt;p&gt;I would much rather that the bird delivering my mail is a badass who can protect it at all costs.  Perhaps the protective &amp;quot;MINE&amp;quot; body language is aimed at someone trying to intercept my mail, not at me.  This is a much better scenario than a fake-ass overly friendly bird.&lt;p&gt;Also, the old logo always made me a little uncomfortable—it looks like the bird is mid flight, but the moment it flaps its wings up it&amp;#x27;s dropping that letter!!!</text></comment>

Whoever made that post reads too much into things that aren&amp;#x27;t even true:&lt;p&gt;* Long, sharp beaks are characterestic of &lt;i&gt;nectar feeders&lt;/i&gt;, e.g. hummingbird, not &amp;quot;lethal predators&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;* Hawk&amp;#x27;s beak is neither large nor particularly sharp; and while hawk &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; a deadly predator, and the new logo is hawk-like, I can&amp;#x27;t see the hawk as a bad thing;&lt;p&gt;* Everything else is purely subjective, too. &amp;quot;Dead white eyes convey malice&amp;quot;? OK.&lt;p&gt;Finally, re:&amp;quot;Message is mine, not yours&amp;quot;? Well, that&amp;#x27;s the &lt;i&gt;entire point&lt;/i&gt; of an email client. It &lt;i&gt;keeps the mail&lt;/i&gt;, it doesn&amp;#x27;t live on the server.&lt;p&gt;If that comes through the logo, then it&amp;#x27;s a job well done.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.dkfindout.com&amp;#x2F;us&amp;#x2F;animals-and-nature&amp;#x2F;birds&amp;#x2F;types-beak&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.dkfindout.com&amp;#x2F;us&amp;#x2F;animals-and-nature&amp;#x2F;birds&amp;#x2F;types-...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
