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

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.
