Mascot Design Brief

Clipcanvas.com is currently growing to become one of the largest online marketplaces for royalty-free stock video.

To accomodate this, we are now on the lookout for a company/website mascot (def.:"a word for any animal, person, or object that brings good luck" ...or a metaphor/symbol based on a similar idea). Will you give it a shot?

The mascot is intended to communicate with our users and provide them with a personal and efficient online experience, so it is important that the mascot design takes this into consideration (i.e. vector graphics applicable to web).

We see our mascot as being humorous - yet professional, friendly, helpful and creative, with the occasional mood swing in either direction.

Please also familiarize yourself with our website and service to get an understanding of the designs we are currently applying at http://www.clipcanvas.com

You are the designer - give us your best shot!

PS - If you know someone that would thrive on this challenge, please let them know!

Important:
- Only original works will be accepted/considered
- You must have full copyrights to submitted works
- Copyrights for using/adapting the design must be transferred to us

Additional notes:
1) We will check in regularly and provide feedback when we can
2) The mascot has no name yet, so this will be something for the future
3) We may decide to extend the deadline to get as many designs forward as possible
4) If your mascot design stands out and we decide to go for it, we may require your assistance to make additional designs based your original one (for an additional fee, of course)

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: We have decided to extend the deadline by 14 days. The deadline will not be extended beyond this point. The reason why we are extending the deadline is that we are going to try some of the different designs with visitors to our stand at the Broadcast Video Expo in London next week, before we make a final decision. We may also decide to test this with our users and friends on Facebook, but this will not delay the decision.


We will also eliminate the design at this point that we do not feel represent what we are looking for.

We are also accepting more designs in the meantime, so if your design has been eliminated and you believe you could make a better one according to our design brief, then you may give it another go.

Finally, we have also decided to increase the budget somewhat and provide a runner-up compensation for 2nd and 3rd places. We truly appreciate your efforts and wish you the best of luck!
