I agree that we should have a better mascot, but I am at a loss (for once) to suggest anything!<br>
<br>
A falcon? Flying high and free? Problems ...<br>

  If it were up to me, we'd find something more appealing than a<br>
  hippo for the mascot. The inheritance of anything from Second Life<br>
  to me is pretty distasteful.<br>
<br>
  Not likely to be a popular opinion so I don't expect much to come<br>
  of it, but my 0.02$US anyway.<br>
<br>
  (I mean seriously, a fat, sluggish river-dwelling herbivore that<br>
  is so close to the next level down on the food chain that the carp<br>
  literally follow it around to eat as it defecates -- why was that<br>
  ever a mascot for anything in the first place?)<br>

    Yes, same here.<br>
    But since we are talking about the famous Hippos that<br>
    everybody knows and uses, I took this opportunity to try to<br>
    find out if anyone here knows anything about their origin. Are<br>
    these nebadon's?<br>

      Well, I found not any license information for the Baby and<br>
      Mother Hippo that I used as a base. In fact, I got them<br>
      from your mega-region "Diva's Office"; but I have seen<br>
      them with full permissions and free to copy at various<br>
      places in OSgrid, too. I assumed that they are free to<br>
      use. As long as there are no restrictions on those hippos,<br>
      the hippo avatar as a derivative work is in the public domain.<br>

            Hello Ai,<br>
<br>
            Your idea of using a hippo as a starter avatar<br>
            is great. I took the<br>
            freely available Baby Hippo and made an avatar<br>
            from it. See<br>
            <a href="http://www.osgrid.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2705" target="_blank">http://www.osgrid.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2705</a><br>

<br>
            Does this meet your notion for such an avatar?<br>

              Anyone feel up to creating a starter<br>
              avatar that looks like a hippo<br>
              that<br>
              can be distributed as an IAR? It would be<br>
              a great addition to allow a<br>
              male, female and "neutral" avatar as<br>
              starters and follow the<br>
              OpenSimulator logo style with its 3<br>
              "users" on it.<br>
