Hi Tara,

Would like to request for a Facebook cover photo for the Mobile Facebook fan page. 

William can you provide what the optimized format/specifications would be? 

Suggesting a light colored background, with a phone + tablet device with Firefox logos inside of them and "Mozilla Firefox Mobile" text

Deadline: April 13 

Thank you!

Thanks.

Ty, would you be able to help with this?  You've got a good handle on the phone/device illustrations. 

I suggest the orange collage background, like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta

The new Phone device illustration with the Logo in it / around it, and perhaps some ambient rays/bursts to make it exciting.

Something simple is fine, re-purposing existing graphics.

* Lower priority against other bugs.

With the transition to the timeline format, we need to create a cover image and also update our profile image to the new dimensions.

Requirements:
- Cover image should be 851 x 315 pixels
- Profile image should be 200 x 200

Note: For the profile image, allow a 12 pixel border for automatic cropping. More details here: http://ustandout.com/facebook/size-facebook-profile-picture-thumbnail

Hey guys, sorry but while I love the design... the profile image is one that feels like a new lockup.  So we're looking into changing that.

Also, should this say Firefox for Mobile or Android :) 

Lastly, we might want to re-think the graphic a bit and introduce the Droid in here. It's something we've been doing more of (and CBeard is insisting that we showcase him more). It would also be consistent with how we're promoting FF for Android elsewhere.

That lockup in the profile image is the same as on the Devices page though right? 

Since the name of the Facebook page is "Firefox for Mobile", I think we can keep it the same, and since this is a channel we can keep it consistent in the even we do expand to other platforms.  I like that these graphics are consistent with the ones in the Google Play Store. Not sure if it makes sense to have an Android guy here because it's not so much a promo.

Don't think so :)

Fair enough.  I guess it's not so much that it says "Firefox for Mobile" but that it looks like a new lockup and I know we've been very careful about that in the past.  I also thought that we're trying to clearly say Firefox for Android when we can.  But, that's your area not mine.    

Agree that the banners should be consistent with what's on the G-play Store... which to me means that perhaps we can update that as well.  Main idea isn't to re-design the whole thing, but to find a clever way of incorporating the Droid character.

Thoughts?
