Mascot Contest

I thought I'd give it a go.

I have a few variants of this which are mostly color changes.
Full size and other variants can be viewed in the FLICKR set.

The idea was to represent what XBMC is as something living, so the things that popped that worked were a TV, Play/Pause controls, RSS feeds, Wireless data and a loose adaptation of the X in the logo which got me to this guy.
I haven't named him yet.... unless you can pronounce the file name of XBMCme (zib-mick-me perhaps?) Tongue

cheers

Here's the panda again looking less logo-ish and more of a character. He's got the bean bag chair going on and the coloured remote accessory. I tried to stick with the XBMC logo colours.

A black and white panda is fairly easy to do variations on and give him extra accessories/plugins the same way XBMC does.

I reckon the seal idea could be the winning one if someone makes it a little more polished. Great idea!

I couldn't decide between cute or edgy, so I made both.

Here are my attempts:
