Just in case you thought I’d forgotten about last weeks post about giving my blog a birthday present, I haven’t, it just took me a little longer to pick out what I wanted than I thought it would.
I took a stroll through the blogosphere and came across a post by Sheona Hamilton-Grant on her blog “Black on Grey on White” about her cute new addition. Hamilton-Grant speculated that Jess’s coat colour (black and white) would make her a natural mascot for her blog because her art is done entirely in graphite: black and white. “What an adorable idea,” I thought. Hey, wait a minute, that would be a great idea for my blog: a mascot.
Now, I don’t have a cute little kitten on which to base my mascot, but a few years ago I did make a logo based on my Golden Retriever, Mack, who’s actually a lot cuter than any little kitten:
Yep, that’s him, right down to his dudley nose. I got him to pose with a paint brush in his mouth for the reference.
Now that I have a mascot, what do I do with him?
Excellent mascot Tania…same problem at this end: how to integrate a mascot into blog life! Maybe you could make him into a mini icon and add him to your blog address. Good luck with the quest!
Thanks for stopping by, Sheona. I like the idea of a mini-icon, sounds like a job for my personal techie, er, husband!
I’ll be popping in to your blog again to see if little Jess has made her debut as a mascot yet or not.
