@netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org think bigger. NetBSD is mostly known for its portability. I very well remember the old black and white logo with a lot of different crts, keyboards and mice, on top a group of little devils holding the NetBSD-flag on a trident. You don't need one mascot, you need a little family of mascots. Not so many like pokemon, smurfs or minions, but at least five somethings, that resemble evolved little devils or so - holding together the flag.

@netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org @jack@berlin.social which email address I can connect you with The person who created logo for OS108 and concepts for NetBSD Mascots mentioned on this mailing trail ? https://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-advocacy/2021/01/21/msg000828.html

@netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org After thinking about this for a bit, my best concept is a cute little orange hermit crab that can be drawn with different “shells”, where each shell is the case from some sort of hardware. This captures NetBSD’s “can run on anything” philosophy of portability and gives you a nice way to specialize the mascot for different working groups in the community. To be a little cheeky/use the lore, the default shell could be a toaster 😊
