Advertising Firefox - a wallpaper

Mozilla's Firefox browser is so popular that many fans have created images, especially wallpapers to advertise and show their love for Firefox. Designs are everywhere, from buses in India to attractive women sporting Firefox t-shirts.

A desktop wallpaper made by a fan interested me the most. It is a photo of a beach that has been edited with surf boards that have parts of the design of the Firefox logo printed on them to create the full logo.

It also has a photo of a red fox added to the wallpaper and a ladies bikini. Even though the editing isn't very good and it's obvious it has been edited I like what the photo says.

The surf boards are progressive (see previous blog entry) and the image has the statement, "Firefox world class surf gear". The quote has a double meaning. Surf is associated with the beach, sea and surf boards. But you also 'surf' the internet. Surf gear is an object or objects used to surf, a browser is a tool to surf the net. I think the idea for the wallpaper is very clever and thought out.
