Re: artwork

I agree.

To sum it up, what our mascot is and how to use our mascot
are related but separate problems. If we have a cute mascot,
we should use it in places where cute mascots are appropriate.
Most people, whatever serious business may fill their days,
are OK with cute _in the right context_.

This does loop back into the mascot design process in the
sense that you could start it with a set of requirements of
where you want a mascot to be usable - but it'd probably be
silly to put Konqui in a suit so we can put it on every
screenshot; the entire concept of having a mascot is a bit
light-hearted in the first place.

I'd say let's dispense with debate over whether the contest
was fashioned ideally and its results communicated ideally
and instead move forward ... the situation is that we have
a proposed new design that's a credible-enough contender
based on the process and hands it has been through, and the
next step would probably to suss out whether it meets the
use cases we actually have for the mascot in our materials
better or worse than the old design, and weigh the results
of that against the emotional buy-in the old design
already has.


Cheers,
Eike
