As you might have noticed by now: I like the idea of having a question of the day. But since the questions posted on Vox are normally not really tech-related, it is quite hard for me to use them without getting on your blacklist. So I will try to just pick those, that I can answer in a techy way :)
What or who is your favorite product mascot? Why? questions.vox.com
Well, this is a quite hard one since nowadays mascots seem not to be that “in” anymore. Anyway, here a short list of mascots I can at least remember:
- Konqui, the mascot first of the KDE browser “Konqueror”
- Hexley, the Darwin mascot
- Tux, the Linux pinguin
- BSD Daemon
- Larry the Cow, Gentoo Linux
On the non-tech side I remember following:
- The ice-bear in the Coca Cola commercials in winter
- The WWF Panda
I guess it’s a hard race between Hxley, Tux, Coca Cola’s bear and the panda… apropos panda: I love the PVPOnline panda ;)
