Mascot Contest

I made a series of these guys in college and made all kinds of different versions of em. I've been messing with this one a little. The sloth idea reminded me of him. I think he was a zombie originally.

I like that one. Simple but stylish. My vote so far goes to this one.

procrastinator Wrote:Is this correct? To me, it makes sense that a logo should be recognisable when only a few pixels or mm across, but I wouldn't have thought that this would be applicable to a "mascot". The only dimension mentioned in the brief is 600px - which gives you a fair bit of resolution to play with.

It also states that it ideally should be a vector graphic, thus scaleable. And when thinking about some merchandise articles it for sure could happen that even the mascot get's scaled quite small though. That's at least my impression. Just take the Android mascot as example - the "raw" mascot is some flat vector shape robot, easily scaleable and recognizable even in smal sizes, but of course it can be transformed to a shaded 3D version etc for other use cases. I my eyes the same should be possible with a XBMC mascot.

But as I already mentioned - I'm more for a key visual (some simple icon etc. like Boxee has) then a real mascot.

I like the idea - I also had something like this in mind.

its all and well saying what it should be but some of us are not graphic designers.

This comp should be open to all users of xbmc. The more people that enter the better the chances of finding the perfect mascot.

@da-anda Thanks, I had a few idea's but ended up with this one. If I only had more experience with illustrator to work it out more and make it 3D. But there is still time to learn haha. Also I have a great plan with this but can't tell more about it you will see when it's done Big Grin

hmmmm, i've yet to see a good one yet. i agree with the post about not having one at all. in fact, someone raised a good point when development for the original XBox stopped- isn't it time for a name change? Both XBMC and 'XBox Media Centre' are terrible names. I've recently put my old AppleTV in the front room for my parents running XBMC, and it's difficult to know what to call it when i want to tell my mum that 'oh yeah that movie is on the AppleTV' or 'its on the XBox Media Centre'. She's knows what an XBox is, and that the AppleTV is not an XBox, so she wouldn't know what i'm talking about if i start talking about XBoxes. A brand name like Boxee is better. I get that XBMC is just free software and not a retail product tho.

Just my two cents, but I think the whole project needs a major rebranding.

That's more on the right track to me... a mascot shouldn't necessarily try to incorporate the logo, as many have done. Think of mascots for other brands, they frequently have little to do with the name or the product - they're merely iconic (or "mascotic", perhaps!). I like the way this works on the t-shirt as well, the silhouette and general shape are recognisable, plus you could turn this to 3D as the previous Android discussion.
