The idea of the dragon mascot has not died. what we must be careful
with is to not plagiarize someone else's art. I've been through this with
my own companies dragon image. ( www.teglerizer.com main splash page)
I'm currently in process of a full blown remote control 3D animatronics 'muppet'
of 'The Wizardz Guard Dog'. He will be perched atop my rollbar at car shows
and by remote control will perform for (and scare the heck out of some) people
walking around the shows.
I've already run into to 'legal' issues surrounding him and his functions, and
his
'outdoor display purposes'
May I suggest anyone caring to produce an original artwork, they are willing to
release for use in the creation of a Mascot, ....send it alone or stick it in
the
Files/Photos section and let everyone take a look at your proposal :-)
We don't want to just throw something together just to have it. His (the
mascot)
'visual, needs to properly display the look and feel of the what the
organization
represents. So...everybody keep your eyes out for models and image ideas

Subject: Re: { NASS } Car mascot (animal plush)
Dear Gary,
I should have known that you would pipe up on this question of a mascot
plush animal for the club as a logo.
I'm well aware of the fact, that you just recently have become an expert
in the field of stuffed toys. Congratulations from all of us.
I therefore, as always, trust your judgment, and I whole heartedly agree
on the choice of the little fellow Phoenix for the NASS logo.
It would be an honour, to appoint the little dragon as a representative
of our respective club.
Our friend Kristi has kindly offered her services to design and
fabricate the little rascal.
So, I therefore second the motion for the record. Let's hear it from the
rest of the club.
And, in a moment of creative inspiration, I would also recommend, that
we sew up some kind of a costume, stick NASS member Gary into it, and
have him lead the parade down main street in Ohio.
What do you day, brother Gary, is this a great idea????
Are you game?
This is a dare!
As always
Your LBC sister
Liv
PS Don't you just LOVE having me as a friend........
