DonationCoder.com Mascot needed
Scott:
Why a cat? It's supposed to be a DonationCoder.com mascot, not a mouser mascot. I have zero artistic talent, but I know what makes sense, and something that goes along with coding seems to make sense. An image of a keyboard with some coins scattered across it makes more sense to me than a cat.
JeffK:
I have always been impressed with the principles behind and the name and logo of the American Society for Quality progamme for schools, Koalaty Kids. To my non American ears the US pronounciation of quality always sounded like koalaty. I think it is a very clever name and a good mascot for this organisation. Maybe we could dream up something similar.

maybe we need a pic of a cat hunched over the keyboard typing furiously :)
in all seriousness - your point is valid wrt a LOGO - we could use a new one of those too,
but i was talking here about a mascot for fun stuff.
having the mascot part of the logo might be the best combo though, so you're point is not out of line.
im not at all fixed on the idea of a cat.. could be like a little robot.
anyone ever see the pictures in david ahl's famous "Basic Computer Games" (either new or old) - something like that might be fun, a happy computer on wheels or robot.
regarding logo, it would be nice if it captured the spirit of community idea - and not be so centered around the programmer.
Scott:
Yeah, you're right--WTF was I thinking? A keyboard for a mascot...
Let this be a warning to others: Don't post if you've had less than 10 hours of sleep over the past 4 days.
But I still think the KB/coins would be a nifty logo. :)
