Features WTF.com 2018 Mascot Discussion

[Jason]

Hey all,

So we'll be replacing our mascot to give things a fresh look.

We have enlisted the help of none other than John Schwegel, the person who did the amazing graphics for former versions of WTF.com (all the demons, hellfire, etc.).

What would you like to see the mascot convey? Pissed-off? Annoyed? "Well that's just fucking great"? Bunny with a pancake on its head?

What sort of animal, creature, or otherwise would you like to see?

Any specific details will be useful!

If we use your ideas, we'll toss you something.

Thanks!

 

[Jason]

So any thoughts on this?

Have some kind of monster with a shocked and bewildered expression on its face.

 

[Danni]

Could have a few different ones for each theme. bewildered, angry, rage, people’s eyebrow...

The actual letters WTF eating a brain

Probably going to stick to one for now, or the project can lose focus... We can expand on it though, including holiday changes. We just need the mascot type chosen...

Not a bad idea here, but I think we'd rather stick to an actual mascot...

It should be a anthropomorphic potato, smoking a cat turd, looking out of the open door of Jane's garage.

Wow I don’t deserve to forum after that.

Nvm lol I’ll bring it up on IRC.

If it has eyes coming out of his T letter like a crab and a mouth at the bottom, with a hand coming from abortion like arm out of the letters w and f Holding the brain, then you have a Mascot.

 

[Jason]

Keep them coming..

While some of the ideas sound nice, I'd at least like a mascot that people would not mind having printed on a T-Shirt or Coffee Mug or other merchandise. That likely removes any sort of Satanic-looking demon or anything that's too gruesome.

I still do want a mug with that pig humping that unicorn.

 

[cinderelabadass]

You know I do merchandise of this sort and sell it right?

 

[MaxPower]

How about a not too scary disinterested millennial demon staring at his iPhone while the city burns behind him.

 

[BRiT]

That might be a bit too close to my time in Rome or when I lived in Chicago...
