What about some kind of abstract picture? Like a cool graphic or something? It'll be hard to come up with a character that everyone is going to like!

....Unless it's The Giant Soul Sucking Cel Book of Eternal Despair and Everlasting Happiness.......

I'd like to second the "no white t-shirt" request!!! I don't wear white t-shirts and would be very sad if I couldn't buy one!!!! (How about black?

)

I had thought about that awhile back, but it too closely resembles and actual character and I don't want to get sued. Heh. Same with banners and such. Those characters are trademarks sort of speak so I'd rather not risk it.
That may not be the case due to quirks in Japanese copyright laws.

This was discussed on Rubberslug

But what you are forgetting is that it also resembles Darth Maul from Star Wars, and that too is copyrighted and definitely here in the US w/o a quirk. But quirks or not, if you claimed that was your "mascot," I'm sure both Funi and LucasFilm would bring you a C&D as infringements on a licensed character (licensed exclusively to Funi) and a copyrighted character.

Oh, and in case anyone thought I was serious. My Mascot is a joke. I didn't really mean for it to be taken seriously. My take? Beta does not need a mascot. Merely a cool logo and a catchy slogan. Mascots are hard to come up with, especially very appealing ones that look good. You'd need a professional artist.

... though they're out there to be found I'm sure. With all the fan art I see at Cons, I bet you could get SOMEONE out there to make us up a really beautiful/cool mascot if you REALLY want one. But you'd have to make sure you copyrighted it and everything.

I think you're on to something there!

A little more demonic aura, more malevolent eyes, gaunt cel collectors with empty eyes and wallets.....The NO ESCAPE is definitely a good motto. The more you stare at it, the more it speaks to me

Must...obey...cel....book....

Maybe. I've heard of it before.

That's quite possible Cloud, hang around here long enough you'll hear just about anything.

Cloud · Post by **Cloud** » Tue May 03, 2005 6:31 am

Makes sense to me.

It reminds me of the Hypno-toad from Futurama... all hail Hypno-toad.

Personally, I don't think I'll buy a T-shirt with any cheesy character on it.

Name logo's are fine with me though..

*hugs her "Got Rice?" t-shirt*

...hmm

How about a "Got Cels?" T-shirt?

In_Gabriel_We_Trust · Post by **In_Gabriel_We_Trust** » Wed May 04, 2005 3:22 pm

I would buy a Got Cels - shirt.
(Especially if it's a Key or an End Shirt)

And, of course, Dancing Gir is completely off-limits. It would have been nice to have Cloud as our mascot, though!

~ die softly

I finally got to watch an episode of Invader Zim a couple of nights ago and the artwork seemed similar to Cloud. Anyone know if Cloud's avatar originated from there?
