Event Mascot Family
A mascot family running as a team, with the event's logo locked beneath them — every character built on the same body so they read as siblings rather than as a cast. Six fields.
We made two examples: a wedge and a cursor, and a lotus and an egret: two completely different worlds on the same body. The bodies are interchangeable and the heads are not.
Cover the heads and the two characters are one drawn twice: identical torsos, limbs, mitten hands, trainers, eyes and smiles. Only the head and one flat colour change, and that is the whole method. The name block sometimes drops out of the logo lockup; it is a required part, so if it is missing, generate again. The shape of the mark is also redrawn each time.

Event Mascot Family
What this makes
A mascot family running as a team, with the event's logo locked beneath them — every character built on the same body so they read as siblings rather than as a cast. Six fields.
The whole template, in one piece. The steps below are the entire workflow.
How to use it
- Copy the whole template with the button above.
- Replace the six FIELDS lines. Write the body once and the heads separately — that split is the whole method.
- Paste it into any image-capable agent or model, in one message. One run returns the visual.
- Add a mascot later by writing one more head against the same body line, which is why the body is a field rather than a description inside each character.
What you swap
- The occasion
- Vibary — a vibe library for designing with AI
- The names
- VIBARY, with VIBE LIBRARY beneath it in smaller caps
- How many, and what each head is
- two — one head a play wedge with rounded corners, one head a cursor arrow with a soft tip
- The shared body
- a rounded pill torso, short cylindrical arms and legs, mitten hands, chunky trainers, one heavy black contour throughout
- What they are doing
- running to the right holding hands, both mid-stride, one arm raised
- The colours
- #5B5BD6 indigo and #E8C468 ochre, one per character, flat fills on white
Before it runs
- One element per mascot that can become a head and still be recognised at a glance. If two heads need a caption to be told apart, they are one mascot.
- A body you are willing to repeat. The chassis is what makes them a family; redrawing it per character is what makes them strangers.
- Restraint about the count. Two read as a pair, three as a team, five as a committee — and the fifth is usually invented to fill the row.
When to reach for it
When an event, a city, a team or a product needs mascots plural. One mascot is a drawing; a family is a system, and families are where these go wrong — five recolours of one body, or five strangers standing together.
What changes
- One main visual: the mascots running as a group above, the logo and names locked centred beneath them.
- Every character shares one body — same proportions, same limbs, same eyes, same mouth — so the family resemblance is built in rather than hoped for.
- Each one is told apart at the head, which is where a mascot's personality actually lives and the only place difference is cheap.
- The group shares one ground line and one direction of travel, so it reads as a team moving together instead of a line-up assembled for a photo.
- The lockup below is held to half the group's width, which keeps the mascots the subject and the type a caption.
Pairs with
- Brand Name Typography BoardGive it a brand name, get one silent black-and-white board back — the same name set fifteen ways, in five families of typographic levers.
- Building Facade Sign LettersA name mounted as dimensional letters on a real building, photographed from the street — where the material, the wall and the light are chosen as one set rather than picked separately. Six fields.
- Flat Icon SetA whole icon set on one page — eighteen flat marks in a grid, sorted into three bands so the set holds together at the level of meaning, not just line weight. Six fields.
