CPL Mascot Winner Announced

Posted by appz at 22:04 18/11/2002.

A while back I reported on a competition being held by the CPL in association with Deviant Art. The task was to design a new mascot which would provide the CPL with a strong recognizable identity, and the prizes included Plantronic gear, ION pens and Caffeine drinks. Now, almost a month later, the winners have been selected.
“It's very important for the CPL to have a strong, recognizable identity at this point as we receive more and more media attention,” said league web designer Shane Taylor.
“By adopting a mascot we hope to ground the term cyberathlete, making the CPL and the culture behind professional gaming more friendly and approachable to the casual or non-gamer.”
To view the winners and find out more about the competition visit Deviant Art, and the find out more about the CPL and their future events visit thecpl.com.

#3 looks good.

BUT, It is a bit of a rip off of the NBA logo. just diff colours and a geek instead of a basketballer :P [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I am sure with the size of the CPL they will be able to sort a deal out with the NBA etc... Anyway arent mascots void from the copyright infringement laws in america so long as they dont directly quote or copy a team logo 100%. It does look a little like the NBA logo but i think it adds to the effect.

ho hum [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

a mascot is the character.

These are more like logos / corporate identities.

I think they just want the character from the designs. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
