    I recently started my own credit card website and I'm looking for someone to design me a cool mascot. I like a glossy, web 2.0 style like the stuff often featured on http://www.smashingmagazine.com/

    Some Mascots I like:

    The Freelance switch guy (freelanceswitch.com - top right hand corner)
    The Globalzoo guy (http://www.globalzoo.de/ - top right)

    Some Mascot ideas:

    The site in questions is called 'Master Your Card', and its mission statement is to help consumers take control of their credit cards / finances etc. I'm open to clever interpretations, like devil/angel themed credit card mascots, a chained up credit card, a guy squeezing a card, etc. etc. Don't be afraid to be creative.

    Mascots should be AT MOST 200x200.

    The winner will also get plenty more paid design work on a REGULAR basis.

    Lefty, I like the guy in the top-hat, but the credit card is a little unconvincing...

    Mopguy, a reasonable attempt but not quite up to the standards I'm expecting. The Freelance Switch / GlobalZoo mascots are far more expressive and look as though they are finished to a far more professional standard.

    Well firstly the sites name is 'Master Your Card', not 'Master Your Credit' :)

    But I'm afraid this isn't really to the standard I'm looking for.

    Please keep em coming, I'll be selecting a winner in the next few days.

    Looking for a mascot that's attractive relevant, memorable, brandable and maybe even a little humorous!

    here is my entry, hope you like it.

    the idea here is the hand symbolizes Y , and the pencil in the hand signifies the power to know about your card

    lemme know if you want any changes

    Regards
    CB

    CB, not what I;m looking for - sorry.

    For one thing - that's not a mascot.

    Secondly, why is there a guy's hand holding a pencil? Makes no sense...
