The higher the prize the more entries and participating creatives you can expect your contest to get.

Our character and mascot design is the definition of memorable

Very clearly the Hatchwise designers that have gone to the trouble of hunting down our website or going to our LinkedIn page, because they’re adding things to the logo that I didn’t put in the contest — they found it. It’s very clear that there are people and designers who are taking it seriously and putting in the work.

We've got mascot and character design packages for budgets of all sizes

Common questions

What does it cost?
We have pricing for all budgets, higher priced packages come with a larger prize for the winning designer, which typically results in higher participation by more skilled creatives. View the pricing for all types of contests here.
Contests run for ten days, during which time you will receive entries and can request revisions. If you need work done more quickly our rush upgrade gets you results in 48 hours and usually results in more entries than a comparable 10 day contest. You can always extend your contest once it ends if you want to see more entries or want to request changes to an existing entry.​

You can run any type of design or naming contest on Hatchwise, if we do not have a specific category for your design contest please use the Custom Graphic Design category. We do not allow contests that contain any of the following: anything that may be: construed as obscene, pornographic, illegal or offensive in any way.

Yes! You can award a winner whenever you want.
You get one (1) completed entry per contest. If you need different versions of the completed entry (black and white, different tag lines etc…) you can hire the winning creative to do it after the contest is over (you get their contact details with the completed entry). If you need a entry designed for more than one company, or need more than one entry for the same company you would need to run more than one contest. Creatives have the option when submitting their entry to your contest to allow you to buy their entry once you have awarded a first place winner. Additional designs cost $100 each if available after your contest ends. All of the designs that you do not award or purchase remain the sole property of the submitting creative(s).

Absolutely! When filling out your contest brief, or at any time while your contest is active you can add images to the brief for the creatives to use as a reference when creating design concepts.

After you award your contest winner you can purchase any of the other available entries as “Additional Designs”. The option to purchase them will appear directly under the entry, and you may buy as many as you like.

All About Character & Mascot Design Contests

All About Character & Mascot Design Contests

First things first- what is a mascot, and why is it important to have one? Furthermore, what makes a mascot different from a logo or an avatar? Let’s find out.

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.

FAQs

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.
