Do you wish more companies had mascots?

[alakazam]

Personally, I wish more software companies had mascots, like ESET has their robot and Bullguard has their bulldog. Instead of designing their own mascots, most of the other companies rely on logos and fonts to make themselves recognizable. What do you think?

Ha! Good thread.

I don't like that product that much, but I do like the Privacy Badger mascot.

Another product I don't use.... but I do like the mascot.

Mascot don't make a program, have it or not doesn't change anything

No way.

One of the best AVs for detection available is Kaspersky (there may be other problems with it..). But for detection, it's one of the best.

Good Mascot:

One of the worst AVs is Webroot. They have no mascot.

Webrot's (SIC) Green Kool-Aid Man is only an unofficial mascot.

So..... That pretty well proves it.

From now on, no software without a good mascot goes on my machines.

I expect AV-Comparatives to start mascot assessment soon.

The End.

Microsoft companies in each country create their own characters. It is said that this is an anthropomorphic character of Internet Explorer.

Do you ever look at Crunchyroll?

I read your comment and for the first time I learned about the existence of Crunchyroll.

If you put a turtle and you say it's fast, you will not believe it if you see a cheetah, and they say it's fast, maybe you'll install it.

I don't know about AV but @bribon77 seems pretty fast. Also Malwarebytes mascot seems pretty cool.

I was wondering if it was only a coincidence that ur profile pic was also a Cheetah. Now I know

 

[dJim]

FRom my point of view a mascot its just " another way " of logo or icon. Im sure they can give alot of influence to users based on visual power, and yes i think is great.

Which leads to the security product mascot quiz question.

What online security product did in-fact use a cheetah as an advertising symbol?

Here is a cut-out screenshot:

==================

And what distinct and separate online security product uses this image of a cheetah?

I remember that I was using the panda illustration icon for a while.

With many characters reminiscent of strength and protection, I thought that the idea of a panda was novel.

Ah yes, Panda.

They've used several panda images in their marketing. But the above-posted image seems to be the current official one.
