Chris Forsythe has an interesting little post on the Adium developer blog regarding the progression of the application’s icon.

He say’s: “Overall, the duck has been a good mascot and has worked well for us for years. It’s drawn sharp criticism by some, and love and affection by others. You have to know you are doing something right if you get that kind of reaction.”

My view: Adium has one of the most widely talked about icons for any Mac application, which must be a good thing.
