a mascot maybe'd help

[Javier Aravena <phrodo 00 gmail com>]

hi, I'm not a marketing expert at all, in fact I do not know anything
about marketing, however I read once an article written by some opera
marketing guy that stated that even though logos are great, mascot are
greater 'cause you can lead the users to answer what we want them to
answer to the "if gnome was a person, how would it look like" question,
of course, we don't know what we want them to think yet, but once we
know it it would be great to have a mascot, like the os-tan, but with gnome (btw, there's linux-tan, but I don't like her at all).
besides, if the brand has a character it helps the brand to be closer
to the user, as what happens with tux, the bsd daemon, the firefox red
panda, or, eventually, the gnome girl/guy/whatever (I think it should
be a girl as girls are cute, but that's just personal opinion).
btw, I'm sorry for my poor english.
