MLP Forums Mascot Contest!

[Ashley 2,427]

MLP Forums Mascot Contest!

Various sites within Poniverse are represented by a mascot that embodies the spirit of its community. MLP Forums is currently lacking such a mascot, so we’re giving you guys the opportunity to design one.

What the mascots are:

The mascots are ponies with personality! They aren't just ponies, they’re memorable characters that would stick out in a crowd. They represent the sites of Poniverse.

What we’re looking for:
A mascot that can represent MLP Forums, that can be the embodiment of MLP Forums. It needs to fit in with the other mascots, stand out and be memorable!

Rules:

• The entries should not be alicorns or non-ponies.
   
• All designs must be original, which means no pony creator. The colors should also work well together; extra points if pink is incorporated in some way.
   
• The pony can be either a boy or a girl.
   
• As the designs must be original, you are not allowed to use mane styles from the show. This means that there cannot be any Rainbow Dash look-alikes (or any pony from the show for that matter).
   
• The design is more important than the quality of the drawing! We’d prefer a well designed mascot over a well drawn one.

Entry Rules:
All entries must be sent in by PM using this button:
An image of your mascot design is required to be in said PM.

Deadlines:
All entries should be submitted by September 2nd.

Prizes:
The winner’s design will be used as MLP Forum’s mascot design!
The mascot will be featured on an upcoming Ask Poniverse tumblr!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in this thread. With that being said, good luck!

A little peeved that I couldn't get such press for my World Cup mascot contests and the like, but at least MLPF's getting their very own mascot! Good luck to all the participants!

I find it extremely unfair that I cannot do this. I have every right to send in a submission, and it bothers me that personal issues will prevent me from doing my part on the forums. I'm sure there is another way to go about submitting something, but no admins or mods would reply to me, and I cannot ask OP anything at all. Emotions should be left out of Poniverse projects, both verbally and in technology. Please make another option of submitting a pony available. Thank you.

Good luck everypony! I'm gonna try submitting one myself hopefully

Are you looking to keep it within the Pointed Pony style?

@@Makusu2, 
Feel free to send your submission in to @ All of the entries end up in the same place anyways, and we have multiple judges to prevent personal biases getting in the way.

 

@@Jeric,
Any style of art is acceptable in submissions. The pointy ponies are just my own way of showing the mascots off. 

[CheeryFox 23,811]

Can't wait to see what the designs will be. 

[GhostPony750 958]

nice!

I have some ideas, but I don't draw well.... whatevur, I might give it a shot.

 

We'll see. o_O

Friendly reminder that you don't need to be a fantastic artist! We're just looking for a great design. :')

[HeartFeltPuma23 180]

Uhm.. I might join the "competition", ideas are buzzing in my head now, does the Pony need a cutie mark? 

If it does,I'll gladly like the Admins/Mods tell me how it should be, as for I'm not good with designing those, and, a traditionally drawn piece would do too? Me and digital drawing don't like to hang out together unfortunately. 

[Ashley 2,427]

@@HeartFeltPuma23,

A cutie mark is preferred, but if you absolutely cannot think of one, just submit a blank flank. If your entry wins I'm sure Jamie and I can come up with something. 
As for the submission, like I said earlier, any style of art is acceptable.

[Lucky Lass 528]

Sent mine in or I was bound to forget before the deadline cx
The colors got away from me a bit...

[Soldier Surplus 232]

I sent mine so lets wait and time will tell. Also thanks Monotone for the drawing I submited

[ghostfacekiller39 23,856]

Can we just do what EQD does with Trixie, except have it be Rarity instead?

I like that idea, no personal biases or anything...at all.

Sorry Ghostie! All designs must be original.

Sorry Ghostie! All designs must be original.

I find this to be the only appropriate response to this crime against fabulosity.

 

[Lightning Bliss 1,674]

I'll defiently give it a go! I just hope I have a chance hehe

[Seiko Shinohara 35]

I am defiantly in! Good luck to all the participants! 

[septemberbrony 11 104]

good luck to all participants, i cant wait to see what the mascot will be. 

[Dovashy 1,734]

I might consider doing this if I could just find my graphics tablet. Good luck to anyone sending in submissions, have fun.  

[Lightning Bliss 1,674]

I've submitted my entry, I hope she'll be liked, but if she doesn't win it's all in good fun and practice for me. Good luck to the rest of you entries!

[Shenron00 366]

What about his/her cutie mark?

[Ashley 2,427]

@@Shenron00,

The cutie mark is up to you. If you can't think of anything, draw your submission as a blank flank and Jamie and I will come up with one.

[Rainblow H. Ash 5,090]

I will support any mascot design that features a pipe.
