There’s something that has been in the talks for a while now, something that the Crystal community has been looking forward to have as a member of the community itself, “The Crystal Mascot”.
Yes, you heard that right, here we are introducing the Crystal Mascot and this is what it looks like:
We have chosen the crow to be our mascot identity owing to its smart nature and attraction to shiny objects. I would like to open the forum for proposals on naming the mascot. Lets find out all the cool and trendy names you can think of.
My initial reaction on seeing the image was “Corbie”. My next reaction is that is a very “Dark Crystal” and the two main characters from that movie are Jen and Kira.
I think it should be big though. I don’t think it’s meant to replace the logo, but similar to how Go’s logo is “GO”, but mascot is a gopher, or Rust’s logo is a gear, but mascot is a crab. So I’d imagine this would never be used in an icon setting… This is just a guess though.
I like the names and ideas here. I don’t love this drawing mainly because it lacks a face. (I mean, technically our n-hedron has n faces, I don’t know what n is here). I like that other mascots can be smiling or frowning etc.
Great idea to have a mascot and talk to the community about it!
First of all, I love the mascot and would not change anything. Please do not give it eyes. Feet would be totally fine. Let’s give Crys some feet. Just two would be great. Keep it retro.
Thank you to @FredrikHolmqvist for linking to Reddit where I replied before I saw @Hadeweka suggested the same thing before me:
I think the obvious, undeniable one is Crys and that just cannot be argued as it is the name of the language, truncated, and it sticks with you permanently.
The effort placed into brand artifacts for Crystal is amazing to watch and I am so proud to be part of this sharp community of leading-edge Crystalists.
