This has been mentioned by me in a previous topic, but said topic is more vague and I would like to suggest a way to make this a reality. As stated above, the ST announces a competition and makes a studio or forum post for entries. The winner becomes a new official mascot.

There's still some obscurity here. What qualities of a new purple mascot are we looking for? (e. g. creativity, composition) How long will the competition last?

Also, I get that a competition would sort of be a way for the Scratch Team to interact with the community, but the Scratch Team can just implement their own fantasy creature, and be done and dusted with a purple mascot.

sure ill do it.

So a purple scratch cat mascot: but a different animal?

✰ Why is this needed?

this is a competition to make one my suggestion is a suggestion to add one no competition

My idea is just a fun way for the ST to get people involved with Scratch. I'm imagining that the Scratch Team could choose the mascot that most creatively embodies the new update and color.

Why make a huge competition? Why not just get a few scratchers and see who makes it best? I did that when I was making a green mascot.
This noice guy I named Ronto-

I believe this would be a good fit



We could call it “William Afton!” It's a quick mockup, so don't expect this to go in the library just yet!

Anyways, the Scratch Cat wasn't supposed to fit the theme of the site, so it doesn't have to be recolored or replaced because some accessibility changes were made. I would be fine if we got a new purple sprite, but a mascot change is a little unnecessary

Yeahhhhh…. Uhhh nope. That's more like an OC with all the details you give. The mascots are supposed to be customizable and mysterious so you can put them in any situation. I wouldn't want a 12 year old robot in a wheel chair (is it a wheel chair? It looks like a wheel chair and I like the symbolism but…) fighting a god of destruction and darkness. HOWEVER, the other mascots can be put in that scenario in a project and you can customize them as much as you want.

SUPPORT. That guy looks like the guy who would not slaughter kids. Perfect fit.

Look, people are already creating mascots in the suggestion to make a contest for a mascot. It goes to show that people would actually participate!

That doesn't mean there should be another mascot.
