User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:7.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0 Build ID: 20110824172139 Steps to reproduce: We need to tweak the existing Fierfox 4 promo banner (screenshot attached) to include an educational animation which will communicate the benefits of add-ons to new Firefox users. - This banner will appear in the Add-on Manager and AMO promo spots. - On seeing the banner, users will be able to click play to pop the animation out in a light-box where it will immediately start playing. - Suggest using the old Firefox 4 banner, and replacing the text with "Extend your Web and Customize Firefox" next to a new Play button.

Hey John - in Tara's absence, could you assign this bug? Thanks
Hey Dan. Just so I understand, you need basically that same banner but with different text and a play button? No other design changes? Also, what's the deadline?

Hi John. > Hey Dan. Just so I understand, you need basically that same banner but with different text and a play button? No other design changes? Correct. I think this should look fine, but there may need to be a little playing around with the text to make sure things work. > Also, what's the deadline? Any chance we could have it within the next couple of days? Let me know if not.
Hey Dan. What is your extended deadline for this? If it's no new designs but just small tweaks, we can probably handle that pretty quickly in-house.. otherwise I'll have to see if I can just give this to a freelancer. Seemingly little bugs do take time... so, if you can clarify what type of content/graphic changes you're looking for.. then we can figure out next steps on resources and timing.
Hey Tara. We figured out the scope in comments 2 & 3. Maybe Rhonda could take this? She'll need the original PSD from Sean though.
Ah, okay. cc-ing Rhonda.
Rhonda, can you help us with this? Sean, could you please post the PSD?

Thanks Sean! Dan, to confirm, no changes to design? Did you want to include a screenshot from the video or something that ties it back to that? or keep it as the FF logo? I prefer something that hints at the video... but we can also keep it simple (and make this bug simple in the interest of getting a banner asap). Thoughts? Rhonda, could you help us knock this out? Ideally by end of week. Thanks so much.
Ping, Rhonda :) Ignore what I said in comment 9, lets just do the simple route. Can you knock this out for this by end of this week?
Hey Tara-- sorry I have been insanely busy this week! I'll do this today--Im not actually working tomorrow. :) --rhonda
Hey guys-- Just confirming placement of new text and button. Please see attachment for questions. :) --rhonda
Dan can you confirm please? I thought it's just one banner vs banner with 3 promos
Specifically: Am I changing just the subhead and adding a button but leaving the three promos below, or am I replacing just one of the promos, or am I replacing all three promos with one big promo and leaving the headline and subhead as is on this banner? :) --rhonda
hey guys! Im not planning on being in my office tomorrow so if I can get this answer soon I'll get this right out to you today! --rhonda
Hey Rhonda. I think it's more of a single banner, like the first attachment: https://bug684042.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=557641 Dan is traveling back to London today, so lets do this version while we have you, and if it's not right..we'll tweak it next week when you're back. Thanks again
Hey Tara-- I did a layout but Im not at all sure that is what you are looking for! When Dan can take a look, let me know what you think. Im happy to get right on this Monday am. :) Thanks! --rhonda http://www.intothefuzz.com/rhonda/animation_tweak/addons-pane-promo.jpg
Thanks Rhonda. Might as well just wait for Dan to come back and we can finish this first thing next week. Meanwhile, I'd personally like to avoid that button style... something more flat perhaps, but that style makes me think that I'm downloading something. It also feels weird if there are other / similar buttons around it...
Hey Tara-- Good point. Is there a certain button style that FF uses for video play other than the circle with the arrow? Thats the only one I have seen on the site and emails, but it does not say "play video" which I wondered if we needed since there is no video screen shot? In any event, if there is a button that is used consistently on the site that I can be pointed towords great and if not, we'll work on making one on Monday. Thanks and sorry I wont be in the office tomorrow. :( --rhonda
Hey Tara-- Any word on this from Dan? :) --rhonda
Sorry for the late feedback Rhonda have been completely offline since I flew back. Fully agree with Tara's comment; I'm not so sure about the red play button - can we see some other options?

Hi all, Does this help? I just took one of our standard buttons in blue - I think the contrast on the white helps the button standout w/out needing too much styling. If you think it needs a more "play video" specific context, I can try fooling w/ our Play control that we use on top of videos (although this would not be consistent w/ our existing styles)

Oh thats funny Lee...I did something similar just now (kind of). Here are two options but I like the one that Lee did, simple and clean. :) --rhonda
Thanks guys. Dan, what do you think? does this suffice for now? did we want a button or a giant play button on the whole banner?
I actually really like the treatment here. Might be nice to try a giant play button, but I would take a guess in advance that it wouldn't work. Only issue here is text - could we replace it with "Find out about add-ons"? "Play Video" seems a bit weak to me as a CTA, and the video iconography as per Rhonda's design should make this work.

Hey guys-- I took Lee's button style and added the new text and the icon. Check it out and let me know what you think. :) --rhonda
works for me, thanks Rhonda. Dan?
Looks great, thanks Rhonda. Lets go ahead with this.
+1. great button!
Oh one thing I noticed just now--should the A in Add-ons be capitalized? --rhonda
Hey guys-- I capitalized the A so it reads "Add-ons". The PNG, JPG proof and PSD are here: http://www.intothefuzz.com/rhonda/animation_tweak Let me know if you need anything else for this. :) --rhonda
I always get this wrong, but I don't think it should be capitalized... Can someone confirm?
Dan, that would be either your or fligtar's world. can you please ping the appropriate person to confirm and then close the bug once we're done? Thanks.
it should be a lowerecase a - Ronda would you mind reattaching; I'll close right after.
OK guys all set. :) --rhonda
Thanks Rhonda. Closed.
