Ok, after knowing how to participate in our voting, you must be curious about what are those designs in our shortlist and the ideas behind of them, and I am honored to present these 4 candidates and descriptions provided by their designers:

Mole Miner

Designer: Oliver Johnston

My design is called Mole Miner, I use colors of TrustNote and Yellow of gold, mole is good at digging and drilling and it is lovely.

The Rocket Man

Designer: Joselito Mutuc

This is my design for the TrustNote Software Developers Network Mascot Contest. This one looks like a rocket which represents TrustNote’s fast blockchain. I also put an illustration of Direct Acrylic Graph that leads to the tail end of the rocket mascot. The head of the mascot is somewhat triangular in shape like TrustNote’s logo. Also rightly fits TrustNote logo on its forehead. I use color blue of the main color, the main color TrustNote is using. I use light and colorful hues, and the mascot is smiling, that fits the “friendly, fun, playful, and colorful Mascot” TrustNote is looking for! It fits the open-source aesthetic as it was iconic like the design inspirations provided on TrustNote on Medium article, like that of Github. I also show some variants like putting a coding sign “</>” on the center of its chest and something that a programmer wants to wear on a T-shirt.

The Wise Parrot

Designer: Adrian Veridiano

I call it “The Wise Parrot”. I choose the parrot because we all know that these are the most friendly and lovely birds in the word, An eye catcher. This parrot will take the interest of investors that will make them know more about TrustNote. The Green and Red colors of the Parrot represent strength and friendliness:

Red — Strength means Security.

Green — Friendly means User-friendly

You will also notice a Blue Book on the left wing of the parrot. That is the note to where everything, every detail, every progress that TrustNote will be in the future. It is the records, the plans, the roadmap, future activities, future events that will bring more liquidity and awareness of the TrustNote project. While on the right wing shows that the Parrot giving a thumb up sign giving a very positive, powerful, and a reliable view about TrustNote thus getting the trust of everyone.

I made the design fun and playful that even applicable to all ages.

A Bird holding a book seems a very knowledgeable representation making the best impression for the TSDN.

“Knowledgeable Team” And that what it will be.

Good luck to the team. And as this parrot fly high to sky…. I hope TrustNote reach higher than the sky…to the Moon…

The Dog

Designer: Joselito Mutuc

I use colors used by TrustNote, blue, sky blue, yellow, pink and white to fit the “friendly, fun, playful, and colorful Mascot” TrustNote is looking for.

I chose a dog as a Mascot because dogs are one of the most loyal/trustworthy animals. Dog is also a friendly animal, symbolizes TrustNote’s Developer-friendly platform. It has a pink and blue color as spots signifying Proof-of-Work and Direct Acrylic Graph. The dog’s front feet are leaped forward as if they are ready to do some coding or mining :)

The dog is “holding” a blank note through its mouth, which can be filled with text making the Mascot flexible for many uses.

Above are the 4 creative designs and they totally fit with the open source aesthetic that is friendly, fun, playful, and colorful. Let’s thanks these designers for bring such wonderful works to the TrustNote community!
