You picked out the penguin example nicely, as opposed to the devil logo
which represents the ultimate evil to christians, correct? Not too shabby

You know, while the application icon just looks plain (ugly) the whole mozilla theme
(the communist art) looks nice and has a quite appropriate feeling to it
(depending on your view of communism).
