MeeGo mascot proposal
 
I think it's much easier to deal with mascot for MeeGo, since there's an actual creature created by Lovecraft called Mi-Go.

It's pinky and recognizable to my mind :D What do you think?

You mean it looks like a cobbled together critter that doesn't know whether it's an insect, a crustacean or a flower, and has no eyes to see where it's going. And un-huggable.

MeeGo needs a huggable mascot.

I can't shake the idea of my mind that a little cute chimera might do...

I think your bear probably needs to see this one.

Frankly, the crazy bear is my wife's avatar - so now I can change to the Dr one :)

I think MeeGo has a mascot (or mascots): the characters they're using. But I submit one version in particular:

That looks like you're surrendering, Texrat. I'd rather see us going in all guns blazing, or better yet with a hand out to shake. Not sure I like the idea of surrender.

Besides, it's not a bear.

Originally the arms up is meant to represent cheering (see the site for the context). But this mascot works on numerous levels, thus proving its innate usefulness. :D

And rodent > bear. Any day.

I actually like the old moblin mascot.
Sure, it might be revamped somehow.
Perhaps by renewing the color scheme or slightly modifying the mascot but the basic idea seems pretty good to me.
Plus it does give the right impressions don't you agree:
Linux + mobile

Ooo! I just had a brainstorm. Hopefully I'll have something to show later tonight...

If we have to go with one of the characters from meego.com, I vote for the one with the eye patch. It just seems fitting, because it feels like possibly something nefarious is going on in this merger. :eek:
