Ok,

If you don't want a mascot then you can feel free to bag others ideas and play Devils Advocate.

If you do want a mascot then you better justify your suggestions of why your suggestion would make a good mascot.

You arty lot need to join the fray with visual examples.

Points to remember:
* KISS - Keep it Simple ya bloody idiot.
* Symmetry is good for flags (but who cares about that)
* Lots of colours costs lots of money to reproduce.
* Australian Symbolism and Gestures are good things.
* Apparently green frogs with gold rivets hangin out of there head are not a choice.

The way I see it, you have three options. You can go for...

Cute and cuddly
Great for branded merchandise, t-shirts, soft toys.

Traditional and iconic
Good for the Aussie image, coasters, stubby holders and hats.

Last, and by every means, least...

Scary and intimidating
Great for disuading potential members, terrifying small children and arousing small amphibians.

What is the purpose of this mascot? Something online - or to be printed on what?

Are ya happy now.

I think a mascot richary is just something to show we are growing as a community and have an identifiable symbol to rivit on our bonnets and make fun of on Tshirts and bumperskickers.

Oh - and to hassle someones wife on the sewing machine so some poor bastard can sweat their arse off dressed in fur in summer.

Geez you're a good sport. Sick and twisted, I'll grant you, but a jolly good old sport.

Logo - "A name, symbol, or trademark designed for easy and definite recognition, especially one borne on a single printing plate or piece of type."
<p>
Mascot - "A person, animal, or object believed to bring good luck, especially one kept as the symbol of an organization such as a sports team."

GC has the Groundspeak quadrant logo and the frog mascot - we've got a GCA quadrant logo ... hence the search for an appropriate mascot?

There you go.

Smurf to the rescue. Too much thinking for me to figure all of that.
