A Guide to Getting a Custom Mascot – Mascots Basics

August 14, 20182 Comments

It’s far from a common purchase. It’s so uncommon, people don’t have the language for ordering a custom mascot costume. If you’re thinking about a mascot, but don’t know where to start, AvantGarb’s  Mascot Basics is for you. Think of it as your mascot guide.

It has answers to many questions like:

  • Getting a mascot design. We will make a dynamic, compelling design.Our mascot designs are made to fit a performer. The designs also have graphic integrity for print, signage, clothing, on the web, etc.
  • Understanding mascot costs for a custom mascot.
  • How to order a custom mascot.

There is also a quick explanation of something we call, mascotology, mascot marketing strategy and the importance of craftsmanship.
MaxOnTheIceYou may have ordered custom mascots before, but feel like you could use a little refresher course because:

  • You got a mascot several years ago but can’t quite remember how you did it.
  • You want a new mascot that looks like the old mascot – only better looking!
  • You want to add to your current mascot population.

A Thoroughly Modern Library Mascot

A New Book Mascot for the Indianapolis Library

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Indy Library wanted to update the mascot. They wanted the big book to be a bit smaller so it could be more easily transported —and they wanted a few other changes.

The Library had a book mascot, named Booker, for about 20 years – it had been remade and duplicated a few times over those 20 years. Booker was always a popular mascot.

We designed a thoroughly modern book.

New Colors for Booker the Book

The original Booker was made from the primary colors, red, yellow and blue. The Library wanted this one to use some of the other colors now used in the Library’s logo.

They opted for spring green, aqua and orange.Quote button

Booker is a very jazzy book!

Mascot shoesBooker has some pretty swell shoes and a nice hairdo, as well!

What do you think of the new library mascot?
