Create mascot and new logo graphics

[petejohanson]

In #195, we voted on and have selected the Zapata Wren as our new mascot, which now want to incorporate into both a new mascot image, and also into at logo, in a few formats if possible.

Ideally:

• Available in vector and raster format
• The logo should be scalable or have multiple version to work for website, avatars like on Twitter, and places like Discord
• Can be used to produce stickers

@tominabox1 referred me to @meatsmoothies#7488 on Discord, who's done various MK things, including deskmat and novelties designs for several sets.

She's expressed interested in contributing to this after/in between her commissioned work and other projects. Thankful for her offer, and looking forward to seeing what she comes up with whenever she has time.

I have approached a designer about this already...
You're welcome to work on some designs, but I can't promise it would be used at this point...

Eh thats fine to me, im just gonna make a few birds and send them to you.

I love the style and execution but I feel the bird is in a weird pose, possibly due to the angle the reference picture was taken from (fourth picture):

How do you feel about a flying wren (pictures from "wren flying" on google images):

I can give it a go. The tail up style was more specific to the zapata wren- it seems that's fairly distinctive for it

Since there's a lack of movement here, I suggest we make a 15 to 30 day guaranteed contest on Freelancer.com. This will hopefully attract many designers, which should get many unique designs that can be rated and iterated on.

If we do go down this route, during the contest we'll want to stay active giving feedback to make sure we get the most out of the contest. @petejohanson I could definitely help give feedback (although I'm not quite sure how that works with account permissions).

Dat money tho

Nobody asked me, but I can confirm that the tail-up style is what distinguishes wrens (besides their noisiness, messy nests, outgoing behaviour, and tiny size). Except NZ rock wrens, who have no tails. Anyhow, if you're looking for a distinctive logo that catches the eye, the unusual way wrens hold their tails is certainly that.
