SEEKING DESIGNS FOR MASCOT/CHARACTER/LOGO/ANIMATION - April 23, 2008

In addition to a logo, EIEIO is looking for a colorful, lovable, and recognizable mascot that, in the future, will be animated for the web. This will be the first character in our "family", that children will recognize and associate with the EIEIO brand and line of products. This icon, preferably an animal, is one that all children should love and that can be made into plush dolls, and toys of many descriptions. Our goal is to bring music (and all of its educational benefits) front and center, we hope to "let the music lead you". This tag line is only a draft and we are open to other suggestions. While we believe animation may be the most appropriate form of submission, to ease later stages of developing the character, we are open to non-animated, traditional illustrations. Up to $3,000 compensation. Entry fee.
