Quick Update on the Firefox Goes Mobile design challenge: we’ve extended the deadlines by a couple of weeks… submissions are now due on Friday, October 16 and voting wraps up on Friday, October 23.

As I noted in my earlier post, this is a great way to get involved with one of the biggest things going on in the world of Mozilla right now. We need an ‘official emblem’ to represent mobile in a variety of places (websites, t-shirts, etc), and are looking to our community to help us out. If you’re interested, head over to the Creative Collective and upload your design.

Lastly, a few tips:
* abstract is better…we want to convey the general themes that mobile represents, like convenience, connectivity, innovation and accessibility.
* we strongly recommend not making phone imagery a major part of your design…showing an actual phone isn’t necessary to convey the key themes.
* focus on telling the story with imagery (for example, note how the Firefox 3 t-shirt design embodies community in a creative way).

Email me any time (jslater at mozilla dot com) if you have questions. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
