We know what mascots are. They are representation of a company or an event. A Mascot could be anything. It could be an animal, an object, a cartoon character or even a plant. [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mascot[/URL] First stop, Mario of Nintendo [QUOTE] Super Mario [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario[/URL] [IMG]http://a.imageshack.us/img59/9540/marionintendo.png[/IMG] Who here doesn't know Mario, the mascot of Nintendo. He is one of the world's famous game character. When ever people mention his name, people would think of Nintendo and the Mushroom Kingdom. Created by Shigeru Miyamoto, his first appearance was in Donkey Kong. The success of Mario games on the NES made him the mascot of Nintendo along with his Brother Luigi. Some people think Mario and Luigi are bunch of mushroom addicts because of their frequent uses of shrooms to get high or grow gigantic. And also they hate turtles [/QUOTE]Sonic of SEGA [QUOTE] Sonic the Hedgehog [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_%28series%29[/URL] [IMG]http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/9597/sonicsega.jpg[/IMG] Sonic was SEGA's answer to Nintendo's Mario. Sonic the Hedgehog took the world by storm in the early 90s. Any 90s kids would know who Sonic the hedgehog is. Sonic was responsible for turning Sega into a leading video game company during the 16 bit era. The game was so popular that SEGA quickly replace their former mascot Alex Kidd, with Sonic the hedgehog. Say SEGA and the first thing you may think is Sonic the hedgehog followed by the Megadrive/Genesis and the bad games that they publish these day. [/QUOTE]Ronald McDonald of McDonald [QUOTE] Ronald McDonald the Clown [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_McDonald[/URL] [IMG]http://a.imageshack.us/img833/3359/ronaldmcdonaldjumping1.jpg[/IMG] Who can forget the silly clown in yellow clothes. This guy is a form of marketing strategy to atrract more kids to buy food from McDonalds. People with Coulrophobia have been known to avoid McDonalds because of that Clown. [/QUOTE]Spongebob of Nickelodeon [QUOTE] Spongebob Squarepants [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpongeBob_SquarePants[/URL] [IMG]http://a.imageshack.us/img227/3473/spongebobe.jpg[/IMG] Are you ready kids? Aye aye Captain. Now you may be wondering why I say Spongebob is a mascot for Nickelodeon? Well technically he is consider an unofficial mascot to Nickelodeon. Ever since his appearance on Nick in 1999, his show have dominate Nickelodeon for a decade leading to some people thinking Nickelodeon as the Spongebob Channel. Everyday whenever I switch on to Nickelodeon, I am bound to watch Spongebob. As a result of his domination over Nickelodeon, other Nicktoons hit the backseat. Fairly Odd Parents was close behind followed by Avatar: The Legend of Aang. Just mention Nickelodeon, kids would say Spongebob (followed by Dora the explorer, the orange blob and the green slime). Spongebob was created by Stephen Hillenberg. [/QUOTE]Now we look at the Various Sporting event Mascot [QUOTE] Well these are the representative of the sporting events. The Beijing 2008 Olympic Mascots, Fuwa [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuwa[/URL] [IMG]http://a.imageshack.us/img266/9625/beijing2008olympicsmasc.jpg[/IMG] They are closely based on Pandas. A representation of China itself. The South Africa 2010 FIFA World Cup mascot, Zakumi. [IMG]http://a.imageshack.us/img193/7875/worldcupmascotwallpaper.jpg[/IMG] His design is based on a leopard. It's a good thing he wasn't holding a Vuvuzela thought some say he should. The Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games Mascots, Lyo and Merly [IMG]http://a.imageshack.us/img713/8944/signatureyogmascot.jpg[/IMG] They are the Mascot of the Youth Olympic games. Lyo was based on a lion.

Sumi is a thunder bird with a leg of a bear while Mukmuk was based on a vancouver island marmot [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver_Island_marmot[/URL] [/QUOTE] This is why character design is so important or else you will end up with something like this. [QUOTE] The London 2012 Olympic mascot, Wenlock and Mandeville [IMG]http://a.imageshack.us/img411/7933/london2012mascots.png[/IMG] They looked like aliens. In comparison to other mascots, they resemble nothing or anything about London or Britain for all that matter. I wonder what were they thinking when they made these [/QUOTE]Post any other mascot you can think of. Plus do you think Facepunch have a Mascot or could use one? If so, what would they look like. By the way, Facepunch Logo is not a mascot.
Police Constable Hezzybear could be our mascot: [img]http://www.brohoster.com/img/staff/bear.png[/img] [editline]10:28AM[/editline] While this bear is cute and fuzzy, this isn't your average american Smokey Bear. This bear is british, and he'll throw your ass in jail, [B]in pieces[/B].

I don't know what the fuck London was thinking when they made their Olympic logo and mascots. How the fuck can someone screw up this much and not realise, despite loads of hate mail and rejection? Ignorant fucks. :scotland:

Don't talk shit about Lucario bro
Why do we have those damn Quick Silver Shits for the 2012 olympic games? Why can't we just be normal and have you know, like a cat or something for our mascot. Fuck London.

Half-Life is just the seris where you play AS Gordon Freeman. That doesn't make him a mascot. He however, does fairly represent Valve. Master Chief is a mascot for bungie, even though they aren't making more Halo games.
Yeah i was thinking same thing.
