Whoops...sorry, I just saw the time, just in time as well..phew..

I just remember LT won first prize in the charity raffle last week that I took upon myself to do on the side, and for help for heroes he jokingly has to be the days mascot.


Lie in for me...


If only..I'm actually up at 8, I also want that noted by the judges though.

so we have 3 mascots submitted. 2 more eagerly awaited.

Deadline is 7pm tonight. Xx

..really looking forward to seeing them all...the 3 we’ve had so far are all excellent...

Kate can we find a picture off the net? I’m finding it hard to do it on my phone

well i found mine via google images so yeah i think it's allowed

Well guys the task description did specify to design a mascot and you were all allowed to ask a fellow forum member for help with this. Only Jake has actually designed one out of four of you so far. But I will of course accept your entries.

Deadline is 7pm.

Now I'm aware that Nicky has a one day ban so the time allocated for the next task has been increased accordingly. More on that later. Xx

....Nicky, Nicky...

Not Barry reporting all Nickys posts, to try and eliminate the competition.

Pmsl. That greatly amused me.

...I’ll message him in a bit..he might be struggling a bit to get his balance back after his YouTube ban...it’s very difficult for him to shake off negativity once it absorbs into him and it’s such a generally negative time for everyone atm...he’s doing so well with the tasks, though....so hopefully he can hold on to that to help him...

Tims ticking.

Matthew and Barrys submissions will be posted soon. I'm just having my tea. Xx

BARRY

I’ve decided to choose ice hockey as my sport as it gets overlooked here in the UK and it’s quite a brutal sport.

My mascot is called Icey and it is a fox like creature

The mascot is kid friendly and also Adults will love it too as it’s a cute creature.

For Merchadise we have a towel, keyring and plushie, all within reasonable pricing.

Kate's comments

Jake. You nailed this task. You did exactly what I asked for and with some considerable style. I adore Charlie and his originality. The merchandise was great. Well done.

Parmnion. The fiddler is a great character. Very cute and appealing. I like your detailed merchandise and appreciate your efforts very much.

Matthew Nicky and Barry. What do I say. I can't overload you three with praise as you didn't design your mascots but all three very appealing. Thank you.

Overall comments. If I had to place you in order based on the tasks so far it would be as follows.

1 Jake
2 Parmy and Nicky
3 Matthew and Barry

Now I'll wait for Lord and Lady Shugrr to comment. Xx

Is he? he should see the doctor....boom!

This is excellent, Jake. I really like the thought you've put into the backstory, the positivity of that story, and how that fits with the group you want it to represent, and I love that you asked your kids for feedback.

I don't have any criticisms :smug: Another really strong performance from you.

If you click on the link Slim you should be able to see Jakes merchandise. Can you? Xx

:joker::joker::joker:

Foxes, bruh. Who doesn't love an oranje (orange) fox?

A really good effort. I love that you've made it personal to you, your region, and the local community.

I needed to see the merchandise though, even in a really bad MS paint, over pixelated job, but well done.

Oh sh1t. I looked at the pics yesterday when posted so forgot he actually did what I said he should have done :laugh: I'll amend my feedback. :hehe:

Interesting to see 2 people choosing ice hockey, an underrepresented sport.

Good job Barry. I know this one was tough for you only having a phone, so extra credit for providing a range of merch, and I like that your merch is true to the arctic fox, which is perfect for ice hockey.

...Jake...I love Charlie and a starfish is an excellent mascot...also, the rainbow representative as well...as you say, Charlie could be used to encourage children into swimming and swimming is such an amazing activity for children and adults/...families etc... swimming hats, rubber ring, arm bands and swimming bag...you’ve thought of everything....just a really great job...:love:..


...Nicky, I’m so in love with Flint...:he’s so incredibly adorable...black and orange is such a striking colour combination as well, how clever of Flint to have that colouring...:love:..and I love your idea of him being a hockey team mascot...hockey shirts, hockey mask and set of hockey sticks etc...all perfect and an amazing job from you...


...Parm... THE FIDDLER....Mascot of Glasgow Celtic FC....very well chosen, it’s such a fun mascot that would be impossible not to bring a smile...
and I love the piggery bank that sings...again, how could anyone not smile and appreciate THE FIDDLER...just a joyful mascot and thoughtfully chosen...:love:...



...Barry and Icey the Fox, obviously perfect for an ice sport as you’ve chosen with ice hockey...I totally adore Icey...:lovedup:...the plush toy and all of the merchandise... a towel, A key ring ...and all reasonably priced and that’s an important thing as well, I think because merchandise can be so costly...you’ve completed the task beautifully, Barry...:love:...



...and Matthew, Scott the Unicorn...I think that might actually be our very own gorgeous Scott...?..:laugh:...although no because he isn’t a Scot, Scott...I love the unicorn mascot, he’s magnificent...very regal and children will love him as well...and I love also how you’ve priced all of your merchandise...that’s a lovely addition...

Scott Tshirt - £20
Scott Wooly Hat - £5
Scott Phone Case - £10
Scott Mug - £5

...great, great job, Matthew...:love:..

Oh my word thanks judges I thought I did a rubbish job! So thats a relief!
