All the major Mozilla brands are creatures (Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird, Minotaur, Gecko), and using the idea that they all have the same monstrous DNA (or Mozilla DNA, MozDNA, MoZNA, ZNA, etc.) would make it clear that the underlying platform is the same...

Regarding the notion of us creating a "second trips-off-the-tongue brand out of Mozilla", it's worth noting that the Mozilla brand came before Firefox so we're not trying to create anything new here. The idea is simply to raise the visibility of the fact that Mozilla technology is powering a lot of cool stuff on the web (including Firefox). There were some suggestions on my blog that we should put the "powered by Mozilla" logo on the Firefox product pages, which seems like the right way to go about this to me. Anyway, this has been a fun discussion...looking forward to continuing it on this and other related topics. Thanks for the posts…I’ve been enjoying reading everyone’s thoughts on this topic.
