The Pidgin project website also receive a similar face lift, which feature the new Finch mascot-logo. This mark the departure from its previous image which has to be rebranded due to legal issues surrounding the Gaim name.

Sad thing here is I don’t see any Mac platform :? By the way, does it built in with Ubuntu 7.04? :P

7.04 shipped with gaim 2.0.0 beta, you have to wait for 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) for that or you can always compile pidgin from the source.
Use adium if you’re on Mac OS X, because it is based on the same library as gaim/pidgin (libgaim/libpurple)
