Many people are enthusiastic about Mozilla products and would like to manufacture free publicity for them. In order to do so properly, they need high quality official icons readily available for the various products (preferably in different sizes because not everybody can use an image manipulation program...)

Doing a search for logos on mozilla.org yields some Firefox logos, so that's pretty nicely covered. Ok, looks like there are some Thunderbird logos too here www.mozilla.org/foundation/identity-guidelines/thunderbird.html but only Firefox is mentioned at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/about/logo/
And maybe the other products too with a logo should be there as well?

Love you guys, keep up the great work!

Reproducible: Always

Reassigning to www.mozilla.org component.

I think it would make sense to set up a page on www.mozilla.org to host all available logos (and link to style guides where available).  I don't think we'd want to post high resolution version though, but we can provide information about how to request high resolution versions.  Apparently there have been concerns in the past about logo abuse when high resolution versions are available.

For some reason I thought the marketing team was working on something similar to this? Tara, am I crazy? (Hint: yes.)

Sam, though I'm compelled to agree with the notion that you might be crazy :) I don't think you are.  I've been working with Catherine to create a simple page that hosts all of our registered marks.  The intention though was to have this as a reference, and not necessarily a source for downloading files.  I can talk to Catherine to see what her thoughts are, but as Davidb mentioned, providing large/high resolution images carry some legal concerns and we've generally shied away from doing that unless it was accompanied by a style guide similar to the ones available for Firefox and Thunderbird.  

The newly launched Community Marketing Guide has some good information on this topic: http://contribute.mozilla.org/Marketing/Promotional_Items

John Slater and I are also working on a project to organize these types of creative efforts through a site we're calling the Mozilla Creative Collective.  It hasn't been built yet, but it will include a materials page to host logos and other design resources for our communities.  So, although that's not a short-term solution, it's definitely something that may help address the issue raised by Flaky Jake.

Tara, thanks for the update.  It sounds like having this information on the Creative Collective site makes sense.  Once that's up we can add a link to it from www.mozilla.org.
