I've compared the Nuvola logo to the PNG rendering available at
http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node/3064 and my conclusion remains the
same: this isn't the same logo. I'm no graphics expert, but I think
despite the very similar look, the shapes are different enough and that
it was done without using the firefox logo as a base.
