Title: Bitcoin Mascot
Post by: byebyehi on September 09, 2018, 09:55:11 PM
It would be a great idea to create some type of bitcoin mascot character for advertising / promotional purposes.  Planters has the Mr. Peanut mascot, We should create something called Mr. Bit or something to attract young people to bitcoin.

Ok, what about this one.

I know that duck is from Disney and could be difficult to use it, but i think this one matches at 100% with a bitcoin mascot. Other option could be to design a new mascon from zero with this bitcoin community.

It's a good idea, but unfortunately probably just not the right time (considering what's currently going on trump wise: https://blogs.wsj.com/law/2016/08/18/anti-trump-mascot-donald-ducks-may-run-afoul-of-trademark-protections/)

I'm assuming Disney is probably on high alert w/ this. If it's more of a community item though, I don't know the ramifications of that.

Realistically, in order to get a "mascot", a organization (whether it be the official one, or not) would have to determine a mascot. But IDK, I think it's a little too late to determine a mascot for Bitcoin. This is something that should have been implemented from the start. Starting now would probably be in vein, and it wouldn't be used often IMO.

I don't agree with the idea of having a mascot. Have you seen a mascot for Paypal? or a Bank? Bitcoin is a serious thing and shouldn't be affiliated with things like 'Mr.Bit' etc. There are plenty of 'Bitcoin' logos you can use for the purposes of advertising etc, I don't see why can't you use those Unless you are targetting 6 years old and less. Anyway, you can still find plenty of bitcoin mascots by doing a quick google search. Look over at Shutterstock, they have got a few of them or even better hire someone from Fiverr to make one for you.

I dont get it either, we have the bitcoin logo and there are lots and lots of
designers creating all sorts of graphics.

Creating some sort of mascot turns bitcoin into some sort of commodity
like (as above) a cartoon character when it is basically a currency and all
currencies have a symbol as an identifier.
