>>144664565I fucking hate Paris's this year so much. Soulless blobs just like those frogs. Eagle boy is cute as fuck though.
>>144664619My grandparents saw it in 1996 since we live in Florida, I'm a zoomer so obviously I wasn't there to see it firsthand but they kept some merchandise from the event. I had no idea they made a SNES game based off Izzy until a few years ago though

>>144664939Yeah also Petra is a neat waifu.
>>144664657It had a tie-in animated special too. It was about Izzy collecting the Olympic rings and what each one symbolizes.
>>144664932God what a shit mascot.

>>144664719phrygian caps, basically an icon of the revolution hailing from the roman era when they were given to freed slaves. After the american and french revolutions they became symbols of democratic revolution, but the French have held onto them way harder.
What is this expression trying to convey?

>>144665382Design ≠ cartoonIllustration ≠ cartoon
Palestine boycott. Isreal unopposed in most events. How does this affect our giveaway?
Why are they always some kind of abstract abominations these days?
>>144666811Cultural sensitivityMaking something too specific always leads to accusations of misrepresentation or appropriation
>>144664657Whatizit/Izzy was so hated/forgotten that by the time of the actual Olympics they literally made jokes about him living as a homeless junkie in Atlanta on NBC
what about World Cup mascots?
I always liked the bottom middle one cause he looks like a murderer with a basement full of victims
>>144667107Iconic. Waiting for the next WC since i trust burgers when it comes to mascot designs.
>>144667673some trivia:>there are at least two WC with documented mascots predating Willie but FIFA never recognized them>Tip and Tap's costume was drastically different than the artwork>Naranjito had an animated series reminiscent of the anime of that period>Ciao was designed by an archited, which is probably the reason why the design looks more like a logo and less like a mascot>ever looked at Goleo thinking "he really looks like the bear from the Bear in the Big Blue House"? That's because he was designed by the same company - The Muppets Inc. - which is also the reason why the costume costed a lot of money>Zabivaka was designed by a furry artist, and she knew exactly what she was doing
>>144667925
>>144667102From what I've read they went with Izzy because the people choosing it were too retarded to come up with an actual thing
>>144667896>>Zabivaka was designed by a furry artist, and she knew exactly what she was doing
>>144665264Izzy got a cartoon.https://youtu.be/TzGr9ibFkrw

Kinda weird how the Beijing games got this https://youtu.be/Yr5ZWYRaAywbut then their mascots were something else entirely.

Not an official mascot but this movie stuck in my brain for 16 yearshttps://youtu.be/Yr5ZWYRaAyw?si=THyBBb6orv2u_7ZJ
>>144664565I never cared much about Olympics but fuck me if Izzy wasn't the coolest mofo I saw as a kid. His blue color, red lightning shoes, starry eyes, he was like Sonic before I got to knew Sonic.There was an article in children magazine with all the Olympic mascots over the years. I liked Sam and Izzy the most and even made my own comic about him. He was trying to bring the Olympic torch to the ceremony but his evil doppelganger (i think I named him Ozzy or something like that) was trying to stop him, launching various traps on the path. It was wild to discover that Izzy actually had a cartoon and some sort of storyline decades later: >>144669024I remember that there was another cartoon (?) with evil professor looking guy. So I was pretty fucking close in my vision of the character's lore.
>>144664565The Brazilian one is pretty cool. Adventure time looking motherfucker, I like him.
>>144666658Yes but these are illustrations of designed cartoon mascots

>>144669177Vucko's got some lungs on him
>>144669762>all malefor now, i'm pretty sure for the centenary the mascot will be based off the angelic female figure from the OG trophy.
>>144669762Why is Nutmeg so smug?
outta the way cunts
>>144669762I want each of them to kick me in the balls
Man i fucking hate izzy and i had a stuffed toy of him because i was a baby living in Atlanta in 1996.
>>144667925lel no way
>>144669762why do they all look like lesbians
>>144667107>>144667673The 2002 mascots are ugly as fuck. You’d think Japan and/or Korea would come up with something better.
>>144670388>You’d think Japan and/or Korea would come up with something better.That's exactly what I would expect from Japan. Don't forget their Tokyo Olympics mascots, which are basically Pokemon.It's still better than fucking Casper the Football Ghost from 2022.

>>144667107Zabivaka bringing me back memories https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3lsCOHiBHM
These are all pretty awful. Why is every country so bad at portraying themselves as a cartoon character? I'm guessing they want to be presented as "dignified" without leaning into stereotypes even though every other country associates them with those stereotypes.>>144670388Yeah what the actual fuck is up with those monstrosities? At least the tokyo 2020 mascot looks like a Japanese thing.
>>144670388the Japan/Korea mascots are probably the mascots that scream "a product of their time" the most. 3D was the new craze and even though WC had already started using it back in France, those mascots are the ones who were meant to look "weird". It didn't work, althoug i gotta say the 2D artwork FIFA as been using (as shown here >>144667673) makes them more acceptable.

>>144673603If she’s a paralympics mascot, does she have developmental problems herself?
>>144675438so your saying I can stick it in her butt
>>144675466I guess that depends.
>>144675466As long as it’s not kid diddling.
>>144666294:)
>>144675438Let's just say that she isn't disabled, not because I'm ableist, but most depictions of her in fanart seem to portray her as being completely fine mentally and physically. Besides, she seems pretty cute for someone I personally envision as willing to help those in need of support.
>>144665264/gd/ is dead as fuck and AI existing didnt help
>>144675786She really is. Plus she’s already a woman so there’s that.
>>144664932nobody asked for this shit there in Paris, these gamers are just a childish vanity project for the mayor and its dozen of corrupt followers.
>>144664565Does croatia or Yugoslavia have one mascot?
>>144676599Try to find them
