Countries participating in the 2025 World Exposition in Osaka are taking on Japan's love of mascots by coming up with characters of their own, some of which incorporate the culture of the host country. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/04/japan/society/expo-mascot/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #2025osakaexpo #osaka #mascots

More than 100 folks have contributed data that powers MascotMap. I am so happy to have so many folks engaging with the map in this unusual way. Thank you everyone!!

While you're there, be on the lookout for unmapped long jump, high jump, and pole vault pits.

A screenshot of TagInfo with data from OpenStreetMap for the key "mascot". The text "101 different users" is circled in red. It also shows ~4200 entries, a breakdown of top values (Eagles being the most common) and a huge spike in the "how many" graph starting a month ago.

okay so the Swiss broadcaster revealed the runners up of the Eurovision Mascot Contest 2025 and this was 5TH PLACE!? I LOVE EM ALREADY. If anything happened to this little guy I would kill everyone in the room and then myself.

Legato, a mascot creature whose body is a merge of a bass clef with the Eurovision heart (its face - a simplistic looking one with oval eyes, nose and a semi-circle mouth - inside the heart), with a multicoloured body that can change to the colours of a country while changing its face skin to the flag of a specific country (with demonstrations for Switzerland and Sweden)

I should buy myself a plush of Tux tbh. No matter how much Linux can be a pain at times, I love the fat penguin. :3

Everyone has been enjoying mapping school mascot info so that calls for an actual map! Feel free to contribute icons in the repo and of course more data to the database.

Yes that is a school that has a potato for a mascot. The fightin’ russets!

A map of the United States with various icons overlayed to show school mascot information. There is a potato icon in Idaho. Other icons show an eagle, horse, clock, rocket, ram etc

Had a blast designing six fun, hip #mascots for an exciting new Torta restaurant! While the project was ultimately scrapped due to a branding shift, I'm proud of the creative work I did.

#illustration #design #mastoart #mastoillustrator #creativebranding

All the mascots together. There's a croque-monsieur waving the Mexican flag. A mustachio'd torta drinking a beer and wearing a mini-conquistador helmet. The Hamburgesa dons a queso boa and flaming sunglasses. They sassy as fuck. Pambazo, in her combat boots, twirls with a pinwheel in hands. Habereno Pete is running with a giant condiment bottle. Finally cemita is disinterested and on his phone, while distractedly footing a soccer ball. They all are based on rubber hose cartoons of the 1920s but with a modern vector look.

Torta Club emblem on paper bag held aloft by a restaurant worker in a maroon apron. It features torta.

Another emblem. This time Hamburgesa. They are on a takeout box, cup and burger container
