Graphics are all ok. One concern is that "Sunbird" is not a Mozilla regsitered
trademark as stated in the copyright text. That has to be replaced but feel
free to  check-in for now.

Checked in. Once sipaq and shaver are back we can figure out the trademark story. 

This is what I was emailed from Mark Carson re: the logos:
Back when the Sunbird logo and theme was being developed, I wanted to make a
distinction between the GPL/LGPL/MPL theme icons (which can be reused for other
purposes) and the logo which has been intended all along to become a trademark
of the Mozilla Foundation. So I put the text you mentioned on my webpage as a
stop-gap measure.

I had very brief contact with Gerv back around Sept. or so and the Mozilla
Foundation's trademark policy was (and perhaps still is) evolving at that time.
So nothing definative (or legal) has happened yet. Basically, the Mozilla
Foundation can have rights to the logo whenever they ask for them.

So what about now? Wel as you probably knowl, copyright and trademark are
different animals. Since I made the logo, I have the copyright to it (until
transfered that is), but I'm not using it in trade (essentially as a mark to
identity a commercial product or service). In contrast, the Mozilla Foundation
has been using the word mark "Sunbird" for its calendar application (product)
for some time. Since September 2004, they have also been using the logo as a de
facto image mark as well (which is fine by me). So, and IANAL, at this point I
still hold the copyright to the image but the Mozilla Foundation can assert
(unregistered de facto) trademark rights to the logo as well as the name.

The whole Sunbird trademark thing needs to be sorted out, but not in this bug, and not by me.

-> FIXED
