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... :)
So here's what i thought as an alternative:
The idea came actually by an image i saw here:
http://hackedirl.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/0133c9a6-639a-4556-81e2-304f16605ac7.jpg
It's a funny pic and a good concept imho.
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.

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

Here is a simple and clean preview for the suggested idea.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/125611/Firefox%204%20Promo%20Release%20Poster%20-%20Goce%20Mitevski.jpg
Looking forward to you comments,

3 notes though :
- "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..
Nice job!

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

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 :(
GoceMitevski
The vector version is uploaded on the Mozilla Wiki:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/File:Firefox_4_Promo_Poster_-_Goce_Mitevski.svg.gz
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.
I like the idea with the QRCode code.

Goce

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.
We are an Open Web and Open Standards Community... *please* respect that.

GoceMitevski
>> and free format. (or standard)
I suggest editing the file with Inkscape as it's not been optimized
for Adobe Illustrator.

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.

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

Here is another preview of the poster, now with a QR code.
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?
Cheers,

target is exaclty those people isn't it. The others will know about
version 4 from their updater and will update automatically.
Please think about putting somewhere Firefox nor browser keyword

Aren't we making things too obvious that way?
I think that the dominant Firefox logo within the "4" is enough to
grab the viewers attention. Once she/he takes a piece from the poster,
can immediately get the idea this poster is related to Firefox, since
the Mozilla and Firefox 4 logos are placed on every piece.

Also my opinion is that adding extra text will just mess things up and
people will consider it another "regular" poster. The big four will
attract attention. If people see Firefox written on it won't pay much
attention to it. Generaly people are more interested in the "mysterious".

I like the idea of it having some mystery .. folks half familiar with
Firefox might ignore it if they see the name.
However, it does need to really stand out to grab attention as Bogo says.

we are seeing a strange mysterious campaign throughout Macedonia. First
a few months ago billboards apeared with the text
"Who is Ana?" no one gave an explanation and they stayed there for a
while. After some time we woke up and so billboards saying "This is
Ana." And still no one gave an explanation and no one still has any idea
what its all about. Everyone is speaking about it though, so when
whoever placed them there decides to reveal the final message everyone
will notice it for sure. Below are photos of the two billboards. We
might think about doing something link 2 days before launch put up
posters saying "something big is coming". I'm not sure though how will
this reflect in the minds of the trolls cause we've seen this here 2-3
times before, counting in Ana as well. The purpose of this mail was just
to give an example that this kind of things work.

I agree that the logo is enough.
In our region, at least 1 out of 3 internet users already use Firefox
and they are familiar with it, even the "mozilla Firefox 4" line seems
too much for me.
The initial idea had also funny little quotes along with the download
links (which should be actually the dominant text on the tear-off pieces
instead of the link).
Point is, since it's an SVG file, everyone can edit and adjust it to
his/hers standards.
For example, what I'd like to use is something more like the bellow image:
http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/774/firefox4promopostergoce.png
With the QR code out of the image, a link on the main part so people can
still see it if every tear-off piece is missing, and most important,
something that would make people smile just to make it step out of the
crowd of normal posters.
In our region, at least 1 out of 3 internet users is already using
Firefox so the logo is recognizable anyway, even if not at first glance.
Plus, we don't want it to be *that much* recognizable.
As much as for the identity guidelines violation, well at first, it's
guidelines, not *the law*, then , if you take a look at mozilla
community store, you'll see a lot of designs that go way beyond this one
on violating those guidelines.

+1 for the idea with the funny quotes. I like it!
I think that way the poster becomes more interactive and more
rewarding for the viewer, by giving lot's of "personalities" to choose
from.
However, I don't think the QR code should be that accented. It's too
dominant and messes up the whole composition.

This vision will not say anything to people unfamiliar with firefox. The
target is exaclty those people isn't it. The others will know about
version 4 from their updater and will update automatically.
