The setup was really easy, especially starting a contest - that was really straightforward. I think one thing that is nice is that they have sliding scales built in. It makes it a little bit easier if we weren't super descriptive in the text or we didn't have ideas or color palettes even to start with. So we were relying a lot on the built-in tools… I think that helped a lot in the setup phase. It was all really, really intuitive in that regard. I didn't really have any concerns or any trouble getting the contest set up.

Honestly, I think because of the sheer quantity of logos that we get… I can pretty much guarantee you that throughout the process, you're going to see something that's spectacular. And I think that's a very honest answer. We have over the years gotten very, very good logos from Hatchwise.

All About Character & Mascot Design Contests
All About Character & Mascot Design Contests
What is a Mascot Design?
A mascot is a character- animal, object, or person- that represents your brand, company, foundation, etc., and, as a field, sits somewhere between illustration and logo design.
What is an Avatar?
An avatar typically resembles a real person and stands in as a representation of them instead of a photo or symbol. This field is between illustration and branding.
What is a Logo?
A logo represents a company, brand, etc., through a mascot, typography, or a combination of the two. All design principles of logo design apply, but this design is typically more straightforward and doesn’t necessarily include illustration.
Features of Professional Mascots
You don’t want to settle for just anything when you’re looking for a custom mascot for your business. These images and characters will represent your company and be a face that your audience will become intimately familiar with- think of Clippy from Microsoft Word. When you need a character or mascot, it should fulfill the following criteria:
CUSTOM & EXCLUSIVE
Stock designs may be less costly, but they aren’t unique or adaptable to your needs, which is imperative for successful branding. No matter what industry you’re in or how big your brand might start off, a custom character mascot design will ensure your audience interacts with you more and sticks around to see what you can offer them.
Easy to Apply
Your mascot design will decorate many items, business cards, t-shirts, stationery, etc. You’ll need files and formats that are easy to replicate across various designs and templates, from print to web. You want your mascot to look amazing everywhere, which is why you should trust their design to high-quality artists.
Iconic & Memorable
You need people to consistently remember your brand and your mascot, associating them instantly with the quality service or products you provide. That’s where unique, tailored mascots make the difference. When a designer focuses on what your company does and what sets it apart, together with your brand style, colors, and tone, they can create an incredible custom character or mascot that you’ll absolutely love.
Vector - Based
A quality designer will give you editable Illustrator vector files suitable for small web images and large print sizes. You’ll also want PNG files with transparent backgrounds so that you can apply them wherever you want. You should also look for designs that offer custom rendering (flat vs. gradient) and Pantone color codes for consistent printing. There’s no better way to get a design than a crowdsourced mascot contest. Multiple designers will submit several ideas for your character or mascot, and you’ll pick a winner. No templates. No AI. No frustrating apps. You get your 100% unique mascot and get to use it everywhere.

HOW MANY REVISIONS DO YOU OFFER IN YOUR MASCOT CHARACTER PROCESS?
You can leave feedback on designs as they come in, and you’ll have until the end of your design contest timeframe to get a mascot that meets your needs. Contests run for ten days or 48 hours in the case of a rush job.
WHO OWNS THE COPYRIGHT OF MY CORPORATE MASCOT?
Copyright of the brand identity is yours when you choose a winning design. Other designs submitted during the contest will still belong to the artist.
WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE MY MASCOT DESIGN?
If you don’t receive the number of designs associated with your plan or if you suspect that the artists have used a template or clipart, we offer a money-back guarantee. During the design process, be sure to leave feedback so that the artists can refine their mascot designs to meet your needs.
