You could make it an Ostrich. They Run fast just like OpenSim, and when
people shorten it to OS grid people will think it stands for Ostrich.
lol. But do we really want to run around as Newbie Ostriches. But it
had to be said.

I agree that we should have a better mascot, but I am at a loss (for

A falcon? Flying high and free? Problems ...

If it were up to me, we'd find something more appealing than a
hippo for the mascot. The inheritance of anything from Second Life
to me is pretty distasteful.
Not likely to be a popular opinion so I don't expect much to come
of it, but my 0.02$US anyway.
(I mean seriously, a fat, sluggish river-dwelling herbivore that
is so close to the next level down on the food chain that the carp
literally follow it around to eat as it defecates -- why was that
ever a mascot for anything in the first place?)

Yes, same here.
But since we are talking about the famous Hippos that
everybody knows and uses, I took this opportunity to try to
find out if anyone here knows anything about their origin. Are
these nebadon's?

Well, I found not any license information for the Baby and
Mother Hippo that I used as a base. In fact, I got them
from your mega-region "Diva's Office"; but I have seen
them with full permissions and free to copy at various
places in OSgrid, too. I assumed that they are free to
use. As long as there are no restrictions on those hippos,
the hippo avatar as a derivative work is in the public domain.

Super cute!
Is this really public domain?

Great job! I'm going to use it for our Neutral

Hello Ai,
Your idea of using a hippo as a starter avatar
is great. I took the
freely available Baby Hippo and made an avatar
from it. See
http://www.osgrid.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2705
<http://www.osgrid.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2705>.
Does this meet your notion for such an avatar?

Anyone feel up to creating a starter
avatar that looks like a hippo
that
can be distributed as an IAR? It would be
a great addition to allow a
male, female and "neutral" avatar as
starters and follow the
OpenSimulator logo style with its 3
"users" on it.
