marcicat | more on mascots

Because it’s just so tempting. More mascots, this time with visual aids.

Wenlock and Mandeville (London, 2012)

They have one eye! They love rainbows! And they know karate!

Lest anyone think I’m going easy on the States, ‘Izzy’ (Atlanta, 1996) is easily the most awful I’ve seen this evening. (His name apparently is understood to stand for ‘what is it?’ — the Olympics-friendly version of WTF?)

But it’s not all wacky imaginary critters! Sometimes it’s wacky based-on-reality critters! For instance: Waldi (Munich, 1972).

And, not to be left out, my current favorite fake mascots.

From the UK coat of arms, this is one of several alternate mascot suggestions for London 2012. (Art by Woodrow Phoenix.)
