[tde-devels] Re: Making new artwork with 3D Konqi

It would be nice to have new artwork for the mascot, but IMO what we really need is something a little more radical. As Trinity is in fact, not KDE, so the mascot has to be somewhat  different. We could just take on another dragon mascot with an original design and some other name. Thus, no licensing issues would arise. My point here: Konqi is nice, but it's KDE. We need something our own. I have long pondered the idea of some kind of a mascot contest. The mascot is, in some part, the emotional soul of the project, and keeping the old version of another project's mascot around is not a good sign. There seemed to be some sort of proposal for such a contest several years ago, but the discussion stalled. I'd like to take the chance of proposing this again, in the form of a community artwork contest (which could take place on the Wiki). It's a simple proposal, but it would be a big leap forward in terms of project distinction IMO. -- Philippe
