On one of the hottest days of summer 2012 our team looked out the window and saw a a group of children resting on their walk back to school after a busy field trip. To their surprise who swung open the door of our Mascotzentai Studio but the KOOL-AID Man himself with hugs and stickers for all!
We just can’t control the guy! He Just LOVES hugs!
In response to the need to educate and intervene with children living with addicted family members the Betty Ford Centre created its Children’s Program in the late 90′s and a few years later, in 2005, the character Beamer. Beamer, the star of many children’s books, faced many challenges due to addiction in his family. The Betty Ford Centre saw how the children in the program were able to readily identity with Beamer and decided to create the Beamer Bear Mascot Costumes. What better way to let the kids at the Betty Ford Centre know they are not alone then by having this guy by their sides! Used effectively by counselors, teachers, prevention specialists and other caring adults Beamer, the bulb boy, will be able to teach children carious ways to cope positively with family addiction by finding safe people who can help.
The staff of Loonie Times wishes Beamer all the best in his new job!

The Mascotzentai Times team absolutely LOVES hearing from our clients after they have received their new mascot. So much love and detail goes into creating each custom mascot so when we see a photo of one of our creations we all feel proud. We are thrilled that Northeast Ohio Medical University had these kind words to say about their new “Walking Whale” mascot:
“Thanks for making us a wonderful new mascot! Our Northeast Ohio Medical University mascot costume, “The Walking Whale” is awesome! Check him out with his friends from Kent State University, the University of Akron and Cleveland State University!”
$3,400 is in the bank already and another $1,200 in pledges are rolling in. The revised quote is expected to be higher than originallythought because we've made some modifications to the first draft (bigger arms, chest, more "athletic" build).
We still need donations of any denomination to raise several thousand more (WCHA Final 5, NCAA Tourney and Frozen Four are on the immediate horizon, providing the hockey team cooperates). Any donation of $50 will be matched by LetsGoDU.
The skin tone will be "ethnically ambiguous," which is becoming a standard in the mascot costume industry. We've received a overwhelminglypositive response from students who have seen the mascot design on the blog.
The color scheme for the mascot will match the popular "Welcome to Boontown" logo; crimson pants & shirt, gold/tan vest & black boots.
Typically, mascot performers shouldn't speak while in costume. The main reason for this is because it is very difficult for your voice to be heard. Even when you're speaking loudly, the size of the mascot head and the insulation from the foam, etc will prevent your voice from being heard. However, if you'd like your mascot character to be able to communicate with people, there is a solution! You can invest in a mascot amplification system!
So you’ve been handed the mascot program and you aren’t exactly sure what to do. You’re now responsible for keeping the costume clean, staffing the costume, and scheduling appearances. Here is some basic advice:

This off-season the Philadelphia Soul animal mascot costumes, Soul Man, got a subtle upgrade to his look. Gone is the latex skin, velcro patches in his hair and batting gloves. Soul Man is softer, offers more mobility in his head (the old head pushed against his chest!), has fleece hands, and an electric blue zoot suit to add to his classic black button-down. Soul Man is now 100% washable, including his head!
Keystone Mascots even went a step further and offered embroidery for every logo mark, including his lapel wings, and an interchangeable hat band so he can always stay sharply dressed.
We are grateful for the Soul to give us the nod in upgrading their number one fan, and look forward to seeing him jazz up the turf for years to come!
You know, it's always more fun when the fans get involved. And fans don't necessarily mean "innocent bystander" fan. I love this video because Eddie looks so real, although I'll bet this was a scripted, rehearsed stunt.
Don't be afraid to bring fans into your fun. As a mascot, don't be afraid to be "showed up". BIG kudos to G-Man, who let his superhero powers be overshadowed this night.
Enjoy, and share the excitement!
At this point we’re not even trying to keep up, but here area few more. Of course, the school’s mascot is included in each of these videos.

BENSON FAMILY UNVEILS NEW ORLEANS PELICANS COLORS AND LOGOS
Team to take on new brand identity representative of New Orleans, Gulf South
January 24, 2013
New Orleans Hornets Owner Tom Benson announced today that at the conclusion of the 2012-13 season, the name of the team will become the New Orleans Pelicans. A name that will represent the culture and resolve of the Gulf Coast region while also symbolizing Louisiana’s most pressing initiative of coastal restoration and wildlife conservation. Benson introduced the team’s new logos, as well as color scheme, during the announcement.
The team will use and remain under the name New Orleans Hornets until the end of the 2012-13 season.
The team’s cornerstone community platforms will focus on two initiatives critical to the future success and prosperity of the Gulf South Region; the health and sustainability of our coastal wetlands and the health and fitness of our region’s children. The message of a healthy habitat, in which the Pelican thrives, will provide the centerpiece for a program of healthy living, exercise and education to that of protecting, saving and restoring our coastal wetlands and wildlife. The Pelican will serve as that symbol.
Perseverance and renewal have been hallmarks of our community’s resurgence and the Pelican’s remarkable recovery closely matches that of the Gulf South Region. The Pelicans will be more than a namesake for the franchise, as New Orleans, the State of Louisiana and the Gulf South have a rich history connected to the name. Represented on Louisiana’s state flag and seal, the Pelican has been the state bird for over a century. The Pelican symbolizes the determination to not only survive, but thrive even when the odds are stacked against them as our region has demonstrated over and over.
“When we purchased the basketball team, it was a priority to change the name to reflect our culture, our community and our resolve. The Pelican does that,” said Owner Tom Benson. “Our region has been hard hit in recent years and the one thing that stands out is the resiliency and determination to comeback, to fight and overcome. The Pelican symbolizes that. The synergy of this name, this bird and the future of our state and region are intertwined and in three, five, ten years from now, it will be not only be a name of a sports franchise but it will also be the face of the continued recovery of our region. We will promote healthy habitats, not only for our youth but for our community, our coast and our wildlife. The Pelican name will do that. It is more than a name. It represents our way of life.”
The Pelicans’ colors will be blue, gold and red. The team’s primary color, blue, is taken from Louisiana’s state flag. The Pelicans and Saints will share the color gold, uniting the organizations, while celebrating the spirited life of New Orleans and its many celebrations (gold is also a commonly found color on the “crown” of the pelican). Red represents fraternity and is indicative of the blood provision of the mother pelican and the vibrant color underneath the pelican’s throat. All three colors are found on the City of New Orleans flag.
“Establishing the New Orleans Pelicans is a process of building a basketball legacy for our community that entwines our team image with the best qualities of our community,” said Hornets Owner/Vice Chairman of the Board Rita Benson LeBlanc. “The Pelican is not only the state bird of Louisiana, but it is also representative of teamwork, the positive synergy of group dynamics and, as we’ve experienced recently here on the Gulf Coast region, regeneration. The strength, resiliency and loyalty of a Pelican are the core values our fans and team can be proud of. This identity change was an investment we had to commit to, in order to provide a fresh beginning for our fans. Forging a new and bright future for the Pelicans will bring awareness to the best of New Orleans, the Gulf South, and provide our fans with a team that they can identify as their own.”
