A PXR Mascot?

[Braixen]

To go along the lines of what Obliveon was saying and concluding Eevee seems like a pretty great fit. Different eeveelutions could be used for different areas of the Forum, and picking what eeveelution you want is always such a crossroads.

Also I adore Eevee and I think Eevee and its eeveelutions appeal to the vast majority of Pokemon fans. Although I am sure there are a few people who don't love them as much.

Personally, I think we should go with a more unpopular pokemon, Since Eevee is probably one of the most popular pokemon out there.

Interesting, what is the benefit of that? Just to be unique ?

Yep, You pretty much nailed it. You'd want a mascot to be unique, So it becomes easier for it to be the first thing that comes to mind when they think of your site. I think that worked well for sites like Smogon, With their choice of the normally unpopular Koffing.

That's a good point! I can see both sides of the spectrum. It's nice to have a mascot people can relate to, but it's also appealing to have a unique one so that people can remember you by it. :)

My vote goes to Manaphy, just because.

Even though it's not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of "crossroads" either, it's a unique enough Pokemon that isn't really taken by any other site iirc.

Very underrated Pokemon too. :)

Perhaps we could make a list of nominations, And then have everyone choose their favorite?

I vote dunsparce.

He deserves more respect then he gets, both from the fans and GAME FREAK.

I absolutely love the idea of a logo contest!
I've made a few logos before (okay, so just two), so if we do a contest, I'm definitely in (and if you choose to go with a designer, I'm technically one too, eh eh, nudge nudge, wink wink). Although the idea of changing logos is neat, I'm not absoluteely behind it, as logos exist to give a place an identity, not literally, but be sort of an ID card. You see a yellow M, McDonalds. We all can recognise the Pokemon logo font. Colonel Sanders is synonymous with KFC. Changing them would render them useless. If someone passed by our site once, saw a nice logo and memorized that, which is what a logo should do, then we change that, they might not notice us again/like the site for changing the logo. It's an awesome concept from a community standpoint, but fails epically as a logo. Still, it can be done, and in today's day and age everything gets refreshed all the time, so who knows?
