A mascot and a logo serve different functions in strengthening a brand.

The gnome foot logo is very well recognised and I wouldn't suggest
changing it (and not only because I don't wear shoes...)

But adding a mascot could be fine. I suppose the garden gnome would have
the gnome logo on his/her chest, and presumably also would leave bare
gnome footprints behind as he/she walked :D
