Appearance

Throughout the Animator vs. Animation series, Internet Explorer has changed and upgraded its appearance corresponding to its latest release available on the given version of Windows it operates on. Its iconic appearance is usually an 'e' with a ring/halo that accompanies it. On Windows Internet Explorer 8, it orbits and glows the 'e' at an angle near the top of the icon, which follows as it moves.
