Summary

In keeping with the Gopher spirit, it would be great to have a gopher mascot for this project!

Anaconda is, unsurprisingly, named after the animal. The obvious way to combine this with the Go gopher is to depict the gopher with a friendly cartoon anaconda in some way, but we can get creative with exactly how. (Posing and smiling for the camera? Gopher riding the anaconda like a cowboy riding a horse? Something else?)

Outline

  • From reading Twitter's brand guidelines, it's easiest for now if we focus on the gopher and the anaconda for the theme, ignoring the bird.

  • The logo should be in some vector format, such as SVG, for flexibility in reuse.

  • Like the original Go gopher, the artwork will need to be licensed CC-BY-licensed, under version 3.0 of the Creative Commons license, to keep the licensing situation simple.

Background

The Go project itself has the original Go gopher, but many Go projects have variants customized to their own project theme. In addition, regional Go conferences often use versions that are on-theme for the region.

Examples include Digby for dep, [vim-go](https://github.com/fatih/vim-go and the many personal profile icons available at Gopherize.me.

GothamGo

One of my favorites for how subtle it is - it uses a silhouette of the Gopher as a bat, similar to the Bat Signal. (Gotham is one of the nicknames of New York City).

GopherCon Singapore

The mer-lion (half-fish, half-lion) is the mascot for Singapore, so the mer-Gopher (half-fish, half-gopher) is the mascot for GopherCon Singapore.
