Saw Qantas 744 Yesterday

I saw a Qantas B744 yesterday evening and it had a strange logo on the center of the aircraft. It spelled-out the words "COME HOME" but the letter "O" was painted as a soccer ball. Were these words painted on all aircraft? I was too far to see the tail registration.

That would be VH-OEB "Philip Island" and no that is the only a/c to get that. Its a special paint job. Not a very good shot if looking for the words but it was the best I could get under those cercumstances.

Thanks so much. This is the Qantas I saw on Thursday March 25 at JFK around 1700 taxying. I still don't know what "COME HOME" means. Is it about the World Cup or just an ad for soccer?
