That mascot is really scary.

Amazing design, though. Really sets you apart from the competition.

The mascot is cool, but am I the only one to think it looks a little close to Toucan Sam (Fruit Loops)?

Someone else said that too - not such a bad thing though I guess? We don't have Toucan Sam over here, so was a coincidence.

We'll post about the evolution of the mascot at some point. He once looked somewhat different.

Nothing wrong with that. It was just the first thing that popped to mind when I saw it.

I'd love to see a posting about the evolution of the mascot and overall design of the app. It's pretty slick.

Looks Like Toucan Sam had sex with Q-Bert and this is their offspring.

What is the mascot supposed to be? I see someone here mentioned a whistle. It almost looked like a water bottle at first. I'm trying to figure it out and it's starting to drive me nuts.

I was thinking anteater. I really don't like the mascot... That big open dirt-devil-vaccuum nose just throws me off. :)

It's the teeth, I think... I can't trust anything that's showing so many teeth at once... :p
