Audiovisual Identity Database:Requests for Comment/Give the wiki mascots

Recently a few members of the wiki (me included) have made mascot concepts for the wiki: Ace, Vivi and... Jeff the Tree Frog. However, despite being popular, none of these mascots are official yet. I was thinking of having them be official mascots for the wiki and implemented across certain parts of the site.

2. Support though I'd also appreciate giving pics of them to let others know what they look like. But they're all very good characters who can represent us well. · Talk · Edits 01:40, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

   Another thing: I brought up an idea on the Discord that there could be short skits uploaded on our YouTube channel that follow Ace, Vivi, and Jeff's wacky antics. Call it "AVIDventures", perhaps? · Talk · Edits 02:26, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

   That'd be better suited to a second channel, perhaps (name change coming soon) 03:33, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

   what was gonna be on the first channel anyways lmao 03:35, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

   I mean fair point lol (name change coming soon) 03:38, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

3. Support on the entire face of the planet. Jeff The Tree Frog, one of my four favorite words. Anyways, as I am the one who possibly started this idea, I feel the wiki should have a mascot as it would give us a lot of personality and stand out from the boring crowd like Logopedia. On the other hand, I am coming up with more AVID mascot concepts that are more about the wiki and it's branding rather than our little froggy inside joke.

4. Support i love all three of these characters and as a guy who draws too much i will draw them all 02:29, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

6. Support screw it, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Lets get them happening. (name change coming soon) 02:48, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
7. Support The potential is there for these to gain somewhat of a Wikimedia sister (link) level of reputation if at least unofficially implemented, and I support that. As for actual purposes, it makes little practical sense for all three to be used simultaneously, the average user might get confused. Ace alone is perfect for those purposes, while Vivi and Jeff are fine to be sidelined. PM pinter (talk) 02:52, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
8. Support i love em, this gives us a new face for the wiki as a whole, hope this gets past voting because id love to draw em, even when it dont ill still do it. User talk:KinnardASDF User:KinnardASDF 08:53, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
9. Support Obviously, as the father of Ace, I shall give a yes. It'd be pretty if all would be used in some capacity, but I'm fine if this RfC results in an election for whom should be the sole mascot of AVID. 03:17, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

   I'd love for all three of them to be the mascots. They'd make a perfect trio. · Talk · Edits 03:19, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

   i want all of them to win!!!! 03:23, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

   For Jeff, it'd be especially nice if he goes from a reject logo submission that was never going to be selected anyway, to an in-joke, then to one of AVID's official mascots. · Talk · Edits 03:30, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Abstain

 Abstain This is ultimately not for me to be honest. I like the Vivi design the most. It's cool, but for a wiki about archival, this really benefits a community aspect than a wiki one. --Edc4 (talk) 03:02, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Oppose I don't understand the need for mascots. We were fine without them to begin with. IAmThe789Guy (talk) 01:57, 26 December 2022 (UTC) IAmThe789Guy
2. Oppose They add absolutely nothing to the wiki. I'm so glad that I'm not the only who actually realises this. (name change coming soon) 02:28, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Comments

1.  Comment: Of course I know what they look like already, but can you send images so others will at the very least know what they look like? Compooper (talk) 01:29, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
2.  Comment: For people who want to know what these mascots look like, here are some pictures of the ones mentioned: Ace, Vivi, and Jeff the Tree Frog. Camenati (talk) 01:52, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
