Not bought on the storyline, but the mascots are modern and reflect our countries creativity. I like them.
Remembering that these mascots are not aimed at the older age group, (as are most mascots). They were made to keep kids entertained and interest to sport. Sports easier to relate to when you're young when you have a mascot.
So well done on the Mascot design, maybe you shouldrethink the storyline though :P
We are an industrial design studio from Barcelona TRIADISSENY. This is the mascot that we would have liked to offer to you, but unfortunately we couldn't. As you will see, in our web site: triadisseny(dot)cat, it is the Cheshire Cat, we thought that it was a traditional English icon.
On the other hand, it seemed reasonable that the company to win the contest had to be English and, for us, compete would mean a great effort without much hope.
For British mascots they look more like they were made to appeal to American kids, the colors, the hair (I guess thats whats on their heads), the lack of actual limbs (I'm sure blobs to well in the olympics), and that they have some kinda back story (teens love that kinda stuff). Why are these mascots made to appeal to kids? And better yet what kids? They look like they're made for American 7 year olds!
@shadowblack1987 Sadly, it's not. I have no idea what this is supposed to represent, or why it is 'funny'. And this is coming from a Brit. Whatever possessed anyone to think this was... good?
*facepalm* Britain is going to be the laughing stock of the entire world...
@InvaderJem Sorry but it has a Britain humor to it, which means its not funny and borderline stupid. At least thats what the rest of the world feels :P
You guys should stay away from America... their stupidity is rubbing off xD
@shadowblack1987 Well, you say our humour is bad. Judging by the movies that come out in America... Uh. Slapstick and toilet humour. How wonderful.
Anyway, as for the mascots... I am going to go out and kill every single person on the designing team for those... things. Those phallus-shaped aliens... Ugh. Not looking forward to the Olympics.
@shadowblack1987 I live, well, not too far from London. Personally I don't like it; it's kinda a dump compared to other places. Unfortunately, that's where you're more likely to find the thugs and the idiots in England...
You mean the yellow & blue licence plates? Pretty plain and ghastly, yes. But I still think these mascots are worse. Wenlock and Mandeville look like a cross between a dildo and a bottle opener. I wonder what was on the designing team's minds at the time of creating them....
@haszK Grow up and learn a few things before making stupid associations.
Wenlock is a town which held the games that the modern olympics are founded on.
Stoke Mandeville, is the name of a village but more importantly the largest spinal injuries in the world. And the very place that the paralympics were started.
At first I didn't like them as I didn't see how they could be related to Great Britain. Now that I've seen the full animation, though, I think the designers have done well. Something really inspiring :) Great work! :) x
Wenlock and Mandeville . Jesus Christ, who decided on these names? The only way they could be any creepier is to name them Wedlock and Mandelson, both freaking scary. Still, nice video mind.
