Or... you might conclude it was the other way around.

Firefox was selected as the browser name by The Mozilla Foundation in February 2004. It is reasonable to assume that the Firefox logo did not exist until shortly prior to the selection of "Firefox" as the name of the product. The Phoenix mission was proposed to NASA in 2002. Peter Smith's original proposal to NASA included the Phoenix logo on the cover.
