To the obvious question, I say: Why not? This is an audience participation blog post. Warm up your Photoshops and your MacPaints and lets see your take on the little browser that could!
UPDATE: This comes from Scott @ techory.com:
He has another one on his blog. Cool stuff!
UPDATE 2: Daniel Keep sent this one through email. Thanks Daniel

Now I’m hungry

That’s great Spewey! That second one is an angle I hadn’t considered
September 19th, 2004 @ 10:42 pm

Those buttons are so cool I decided to try to make one myself. It’s not as good as the other ones, but it’s a start.

Rock ON.

I hope someone can use these. Feel free to comment on them. I’m no photoshop expert, but I try to do my best on each of them. Happy browsing.
September 23rd, 2004 @ 2:23 am
Uh, d00d! Those are Ford’s & Chevy’s trademarks. That’s not acceptable. I am going to make a Calvin peeing on you button!
*light bulb*
No, Calvin peeing on…(wait for it)…IE!
idea ™Spewey as of now (unless someone does it while I sleep.)
September 23rd, 2004 @ 4:23 am
/MonsterTruck not happy with stupid trademark laws.
Regardless of that, I’ll continue to make these buttons.
So, for BMW fans, your favorite button has arrived:
