New design challenge!

[Coralie]

Hi all

I am pleased to announce the launch of a new design challenge!
On the occasion of all the changes put in place in recent weeks, we offer you a challenge on the theme:

" Imagine the new myCAD by Visiativ mascot"

What do you think of this new identity? An animal, a symbol, an object? Model your idea on SOLIDWORKS or CATIA and share it on the platform! You have until the evening of December 9. This mascot will have to represent the new identity of the myCAD community, and its values: mutual aid, solidarity, professionalism...

To participate: myCAD Challenge 2022: Imagine the new myCAD mascot - myCAD by visiativ

And because this mascot must represent your community, you will be the one who chooses the winners! 15 members of the community will be able to be appointed as members of the jury and will vote for the 3 winners of the contest! To be part of the jury, join this group: myCAD mascot challenge jury - myCAD by visiativ
(Above 15 people we will draw the members of the jury. Of course, the members of the jury will not be able to send proposals to the competition)

And speaking of winners, discover the prizes now!

1st prize: 1 Philipps TV + 1 Nintendo Switch console + the Mario Karts Deluxe game
2nd prize: 1 Garmin smartwatch
3rd prize: a sensation box (sports car driving, helicopter baptism, etc.) for 4 people

Enter now: myCAD Challenge 2022: Imagine myCAD's new mascot - myCAD by visiativ
Good luck to all!

It's Sylk who will be happy... (and me too)

[…] Unlike the old Lynkoa logo, full of meaning, representing 2 links in a chain of solidarity. A bubble in a link, wonderfully illustrating support, communication, online mutual aid, conviviality, solidarity. A direct link between those who know and those who want to know, between those who help and those who want to be helped. The logo couldn't have been better (I congratulate its author by the way!) […].

…
We will be able to come back to the Lynkoa Logo. You just have to call him " Mascot" 
(like footix?).

[Sylk]

A genius, @Maclane! Well done. I was hesitant to ask if we could reuse the Lynkoa logo

[Maclane]

Ask Flegendre
if he wants to provide his old logo (sorry... his former Mascot!)

Logo "Lynkoa" by flegendre

Great this new challenge! And can we have the graphic charter that the new mascot will have to respect?

[Coralie]

You have to respect the new colors of the platform, the style... Here are the main colors

[Zozo_mp]

Wow!

Make a 3D mascot under SW like footix already mentioned then they want us dead or we can trigger a carbine alopecia.

I already have a headache just thinking of coming up with an idea, which is not ideal.

Luckily Double L will fix it for us

Kind regards

Hello @Coralie
Is it allowed and possible for the same member to submit several proposals?

[DoubleL]

I agree with you, the subject is not simple, it's to tear out the few hairs I have left
I'm convinced that someone will have a brilliant idea, the hardest part will certainly be the work of the jury!

[Coralie]

Hello @Sylk Sylk,
Yes, it is possible to make several proposals

[Zozo_mp]

Yes, not easy because a logo (even if it is used incidentally as a mascot) is not the same as a mascot.

The logo is thickened 2 D while a mascot is volume three 3.

The difference between the two is comparing a sandwich bread with a slice of the same sandwich bread.

So you have to choose for the competition between a mascot rusk or an unsliced sandwich bread.

In the case of rusk, it is easier to make communication objects such as a logo.

The winner will have to have some hell of a biscottos to win

Good to peel

[Sylk]

For my part, first of all, I made a logo, because I think you need one in addition to the mascot.
Maybe it won't win me any prize in this challenge but never mind, it's essential.

[… OK, I'm going out ->]
Note, I just noticed that it is possible to reduce the images by clicking on them in the right panel... We learn more every day...

Hi all

Indeed, the definition of the word "mascot" is very broad! It can be just a symbol or something abstract! A mascot is not necessarily a human or animal representation...!

[DoubleL]

I tried a first proposal, it's not easy though...

[Coralie]

Congratulations @DoubleL ! Very successful as a first proposal Even if my subject is indeed not simple...

[Coralie]

Hi all

In order to help you in your research and simplify your designs, here are some well-known mascots that you can take as an example

Good luck to all!

[Coralie]

Hi all
Thank you to the first participants for your proposals! However, be careful not to plagiarize the Lynkoa logo...! The goal is to create a mascot (a personification of the community) and not a logo

[Coralie]

New mascot idea

[soring]

If I understood correctly, the mascot must be made under SW or Catia. The geometry in this case should be rather simple. I don't know Catia but under SW all these examples are unfeasible or require an unreasonable modeling time.
From experience, to have good results, this kind of challenge must be done in two phases. Being a good artist and knowing SW at the same time is rare.
