Our illustrator created a face-forward bear with paws shaped as if it had index and ring “fingers" down, like a hand gesture popular at a heavy metal concert. It was not meant to mimic the painting of a side-facing bear with paws and all “fingers" up to surprise. That said, once it’s seen, it’s tough to expect the community to un-see it, so we’ll take another approach.</span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><o:p class=""><font face="Arial" class=""> </font></o:p></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><font face="Arial" class="">The issue with your old mascot is twofold: it doesn’t fit the illustration style for the entire suite of 60+ mascots, and it contains a human-made element (drumsticks).
