Firefox Bus
While coming from Mysore, we suddenly saw a big Firefox logo pasted on a bus. We stopped the car and and stopped the bus which was about to leave and took these photographs. I wonder if the artist knew where the logo came from 🙂
This is the big logo behind the bus
I like the way they have put the fox and the globe around the wheel.
Few more pictures
For those of you who think this is a photoshop job, check out these images by noelladsa

Re: Authenticor photoshopped?
Also there don’t seem to be any spelling mistakes in the image 😉
Re: Authenticor photoshopped?
I’m actually feeling sorry for the guy that painted the bus.
Everyone thinks his work is a fake :(.

“to the little babies fighting over Digg and Slashdot “
Says you with an avatar with fingers in his nose.
Re: Authenticor photoshopped?
I guess you were shooting in raw right? Maybe you could keep it up for the non believers lol.
It is absolutely real. More pics coming up 🙂
This is crazy. Yay Firefox!
Re: Authenticor photoshopped?
pics are up
Re: ladders?
actually, yes.
Re: MOD PARENT UP
I think there’s a drawback to reply-to-reply… This promotes discussion, which inevitably degrades into the ever-popular “arguing on the internet” routine. Digg (somewhat) keeps that from happening, which i find refreshing.
Thats cool
its really cool..like the way they have painted it around the wheel
then reboot the router and then bang anon comments
I love these…

You are a dumb ass.
Re: MOD PARENT UP
Read at +2 and you wont ever see that on slashdot.
But,
What I dont understand is, what the hell is a Mangalore, Shimoga, Chitradurga, Bellary bus doing on Mysore-Bangalore road ? Or did you say you were going from Mysore to Mangalore ?
Bloomin’ ‘eck…
I love these conspiracy theorists..!! Come on guys – take it for what it is! It’s a bus painted like the Firefox logo, that’s it!!
Great job!
That shit is fuckin geek all the way!!!!!
Fuck NO it is all about the DIGG
Where the logo came from
Anyone ever think that maybe this is where Mozilla got the logo from?
…
Dude, you have a LiveJournal account, this means you are not in a position to comment about ANYTHING EVER.
cool
this bus is safe and have no crash.
Re: Where the logo came from
The firefox logo was done by hicks design…

BTW, great find Kalyan!.. me from mangalore! Dugg!!
Thats pretty neat.
actually, no, the logo for firefox was created by Jon Hicks (www.hicksdesign.co.uk) for the Mozilla Foundation. He also created the Thunderbird logo.
Re: Authenticor photoshopped?
ummm… maybe the real question is WHY would someone photoshop this? I’m sure it’s real (of course, I also saw the link to the other pictures of the bus already)
jeah
Re: Authenticor photoshopped?
It’s not photoshopped. If it was done by photoshop, the corners on the logo would most likely be sharper than the rest of the photograph. If you zoom in until you can see the seperate pixels, you can tell that they’re just as sharp as everything else.
And, you can tell that the normal details are still there as they normally would be.
Furthermore, the Firefox logo is actually slightly different than the logo portrayed on the back end of the bus. To create all that on photoshop would be quite difficult.
Re: Authenticor photoshopped?
The reflections are just as they should be. I don’t see anything incorrect.
Re: But,
I think it was hired for some private wedding. I noticed some wedding poster in front of the bus
Re: Authenticor photoshopped?
At the rear of the bus it would be bright because the vynal color. And the lack of mud and dirt could be, as was already pointed out, that it was newly washed, or the vynal could be new. Or both.
Re: Authenticor photoshopped?
Do you really think someone could create the subtle lighting differences, and intracate shapes of the bars surrounding the bus on photoshop?

“Do you really think someone could create the subtle lighting differences, and intracate shapes of the bars surrounding the bus on photoshop?”
it is absolutely possible but not likely in this instance. it would take far too much time to fake an image to this degree. as an experienced designer (10+ years) i would say that i am 95% positive that the picture is authentic.
Re: cool
Yes, but it’s leaking fuel.
But seriously, I have nothing against FireFox but I use Opera wich I think is much better.
hmmm
Some coincidence that he designed this logo shortly after a trip to south india!!
I am a hot air balloonist. Last year a major transport company in the US purchased two vehicles for their balloons. The entire “bus” is covered in landscape art with the balloons in flight. This process was done by taking several digital photographs and then printing them to a sticky back vinyl. Then its just stuck to the side of the vehicle. I just checked the website and the pictures of the bus have been removed but there is one picture where you can just bearly see the bus.

Re: Slashdot is CRAP
Say, this is a mighty fine troll…look at the reply list.
wow 1337
the 3rd world
Yea, so just coming back from ethiopia, another third world. I know these images are fake. There are no ifs ands or buts, fake. First of all nothing is freshly painted, its going to look just like the soviet era bus that it is, with maybe a crappy splash of paint on it. Secondly Everything is coated in dirt as most of the roads in 3rd world are not paved. Lastly and more importantly, there is no way in hell a bus driver in the 3rd world would stop so people can take pictures. They would curse at you in another language for being white & naive.
Granted that sounds bad about 3rd world. But seriously it was the best experience of my life. I am just saying this is the biggest BS ever.

You, sir, are an asshole.
