Hey guys!
So to keep it simple and short
Does Elixir has a mascot? I know that the logo is pending trademark so people can’t use it right now (correct me if I’m wrong). So I thought about having a mascot, also as another way to warm the community, such as Go has Gopher, with a permissive license so people could do some customizations in it and use to promote the language without actually using it’s logo.
We could have some sort of alchemist. Just a discussion in what you guys think of having one.

There was a discussion similar…
https://forum.elixirforum.com/t/if-elixir-were-an-animal-what-would-it-be/2353
I cannot resist putting my personal choice
Is it about the color? No, it’s about having multiple tentacles…

No. Please.
No.

No to what? Mascot idea entirely, or the squid, or the forum logo with eyes?

I like the spirit of the octopus !
I would vote for this one.

We might get some more, with the linked post about which animal Elixir would be, because I really liked the bees and we could do something cute with it, and pull up a poll, with the option for none too, so all voices are heard.
If you think its bad a idea, would be interesting to explain why. I brought up the Go usage, because it had a positive impact on the community, probably because they don’t have a logo, but also to keep things off the “enterprise” and have a welcoming face for newcomers

There is an almost unofficial mascot (or at least one of the very early ones) called Drop by @AugieDB:

I also had a brainwave and thought - cute CPU! And this came up in search
Elixir right there!

Looks like Drop gained a few pounds, but it happens as you get older… (No, that’s not autobiographical at all…)

How could we forget you Drop
A family of Drops could cover the concurrency aspect
