I'm new at this so sorry for any mistake :)I see you are discussing for Promoting FF 4.0, so I'll give my opinion for this. You are planning to promote FF 4.0 with balloons. This is great idea. On those balloons we can put MFF logo on them, big number 4 on the logo and bellow "download at: www.mozilla.com" as a moto (or something like that). Now filling with helium. Thats more expensive but it's more practice. But that have bad and good sides. Good side that is more practice, and bad side that they will crack in the air on minus temperatures (or approximately 0). I agree with Gorjan that balloons will be vandalized before anyone actually sees them (sry for copy). So we have to do that at morning hours (according to that who when gets up from bed :D). And if there are more balloons we could give to someone children, parents - thats good way too. And i have read somewhere billboards. And why there not to be some manifestations in all countries? This is my view of all mails that I've read those days. Sry If i made some mistakes :)

Earlier today i got a much more simple idea about promoting Firefox 4 that doesn't however include balloons.
Balloons look great but there's a number of issues to be addressed before it can be implemented
1) There's a cost for them, not only economic but also on time. Unless there's only the logo and a number on them (which means no need for special localized text for each community), every community has to make their own which takes time (market search etc.) Even if there's one vendor for all there has to be a distribution channel.
2) That takes a lot of persons being at the same time, at the same place. It sure is fun but since i'm quite older than you guys, the image of an almost-40-year-old- guy with colourful balloons surrounded by 2-3 geeky looking persons is rather ridiculous, if not suspicious... :)
Now, take out the pic of that guy and the text in red and replace the pic with the Mozilla Firefox logo (or even better with the number 4 which seems more provocative in my mind) and the text with something like "It's out! Get it now!. Add the "www.getfirefox.com" url where the funny little tear-out pieces are and you have an easy and cheap DIY promotional material which can be spread all over town by anyone and you actually want it to be vandalized. :)
I'll try to make a couple of previews tomorrow, if i have the time, since it's a little late -even for me- right now and perhaps i can't express the idea right.

- "4" has to be more on the box (more visible but still cut) - Please use "free" ways to distribute your work :) (Our wiki can be a nice solution!) - Please upload the .svg so we can localize and see the structure of the artwork..

Hi,I have a little suggestion. If I know right, Firefox 4 and Firefox Mobile 4 is going to be released at the same time. So I think that one QRCode linking Firefox Mobile download page will be good addition to our poster.Regards,Emil Stanchev - Emu

Emu that is good idea ! one thing more if people take all of papers that are on bottom ,were they will find download link , I think there should be download link and QRCode link on poster and on small papers too,
@pierros I really requested .PSD or .AI whatever you want (I'm adobe user) and I usually have problems with color on .svg files :(

Since Inkscape only supports a few blending modes for layers I had to compensate, resulting in a bit more pale look of the poster. I'm not sure if I mentioned that the poster is prepared as an A4 document.
The "4" is now less hidden and easier to distinguish.

SVG can be opened by both AI and Inkscpape, thus it is named universal and free format. (or standard) PSD or AI are file formats "only" for Adobe programs and you cannot request from anyone to have a proprietary OS and/or software in terms of distribution.

Absolutely.
In general, for all types of media we work with, we always have to make sure an open format is available.
Encouraging the use of open formats and promoting open standards is one of the pillars of the Mozilla mission.

This is still a work in progress as I think some short explanation for the QR code is required, for example: "Scan this image with your phone". Or, maybe not?
