Actually elixir doesnt need a mascot. Go has different situation it is a verb and hard to imagine. And gopher is not fast , strong etc.. just simple “go - gopher”.

Yes java didnt need to nuke. But having a mascot not a problem.
Duke became the official mascot of Java technology. In 2006
This is second time to i see Duke. Duke older than go gopher. But i cant count how many times i saw go gopher. When i look duke i cant see anything about to java.

If we ever have a mascot contest… Don’t do what LibreOffice did: How not to run a design competition

Mascots are cute characters that greet you when you open software. They can have speech bubbles attached to them to give you advice and tips. They are recognizable characters that give both the software and community a personality to attach to.
Oh hello Drop 
And poor Libbie, She was/is so awesome.

My “pip” is just for fun. it is just based on forum logo, two eyes and pipe operator. I havent even realised that it looks like a bird until i upload to forum.

You know, I’ve had a sketch for that for years that I never finished off – until tonight. Thanks for the encouragement. Drop managing all his little actors. (In retrospect, I should have had half of them carrying letters, looking for a mailbox to put them in…)

Love it 
What I really like is that Drop is not just limited to one icon or drawing - you’ve done loads - which makes Drop dynamic and full of life 
I wonder whether it might be an idea to start a thread for Drop and maybe upload all the sketches you have done (or want to share) and perhaps add some guidelines on how others can use them (if you’re happy for others to do so)
