call for design/illustrator help
Hey friends. I need some help. As many of you know, we're coming up on the 5 year anniversary of Firefox 1.0 and as part of the celebration, I'm trying to get together the evolution of the Firefox brand (from way back in the Phoenix days through Firefox 3.5).
For the Firefox logos, we've got vector art, but unfortunately the Phoenix original art was lost long ago.
So, I'm hoping that someone reading this, with decent Illustrator skills, would be willing to re-create the old Phoenix logo for me.
update: Yeah, I tried Illustrator's live trace but there's just not enough data in this small bitmap to produce something that looks solid.
We're on a bit of a tight schedule so if this is something you'd be able to get to this weekend, I'd be eternally grateful. (my gratitude comes with a free classic mozilla "Hack" t-shirt if you're interested.)
reactions, thoughts, comments, etc.

Aaron, would love your help on this. I've got t-shirts for anyone that sends me a vectorized version by Tuesday.

Hello,
Asa just wrote me about doing this task for you. I'm definitely free to get it done in time and would have no problem doing it. I work in vector form primarily with my art.
Let me know if you need my help,
Aaron
