Have a mascot

[mcollina]

It was recently pointed out on twitter by @bnb and @marco-ippolito that Node.js does not hav mascot.

How about making the old unofficial one official? I mean the 🐢🚀!

I think we would need to get a “fresh” drawing done (maybe with a contest).

A contest would be amazing! I would leave it open to new ideas, maybe something totally new 😄

Wow, I didn't even know there was an old unofficial mascot.

If a frog is chosen then a “it’s Wednesday my dudes” meme can be posted every week, which would be a huge plus

^{I can be the mascot, Im already a joke 🤡}

Okay, now for all seriousness, I love the idea of the turtle and the V8 rocket ✨

Yes! The community will love it 👏

I see a lot of potential for swag! We all love stickers! ☺️🐢

Absolutely, though I also agree with what @marco-ippolito said, new ideas would be good too.

[sheplu]

Yes ! 200%

Why not a community contest ? Would also be nice to be able to have the mascot as a 3D printable file (stl) for fun 🐢🚀

Not sure if a turtle is the best look. We have a hexagon theme on our site, we could go with a honeybee to complement the honeycomb theme.

The turtle's shell is made of green hexagons 😉 That image is so good on so many levels.

My only concern with the turtle is that is usually associated with being slow 😅

Well as we say in french : ne pas confondre vitesse et precipitation !

A turtle can be seen as an animal moving steadily, that's fine for me :D

Isn't the Deno logo also sort of a turtle?

I also think that even tho turtles are slow, they are steady and live long ;D

This is what the Node.js homepage looks like on a 4K screen. You're on to something!
