Interesting topic :) I kind of liked also Alex's firefly. The impression it made on me. To drive it further, hands on hips make strong / serious pose, hovering in the air above all. I would put logo on the him, to become is torso / body or a dress. Logo with a big B on it almost looks like superhero dress / cap ( which is popular tune these "days" :) ).
To summarize, I would love mascot not only looks nice, but be deadly serious about doing cool stuff and pulling superhero features out of it's sleeve :D On Wed, Nov 13, 2019 at 3:17 PM Maximilian Michels <m...@apache.org> wrote: > > Same.
