Forum:Implementation of Mascots
| Report post
|
As you already know, the RFC for official mascots has passed with flying colors (And also is now the RFC with the most comments as of now). So, AVID has official mascots being our legendary AVID Heroes (plus Jeff). Now that we have them, we need to figure out what to do with them, in other words, how to implement them. We need some ideas. |

how about the creators of the mascots make pages based on them to familiarize us with them? They'll be on special "AVID:" pages. |

Another idea I've seen on Discord (Puz's idea, specifically) is to add the mascots to disclaimer boxes. |

Speaking of, the "no page exists but you can upload it" message could be accompanied by one of the mascots shrugging. |

Maybe feature them in our social media posts and headers. |

That can work. |

Alright, so several users (myself included) have come up with some possible applications for our mascots on the Discord server:

Surprisingly, Jeff is in 3 out of 21 of all of them. I am proud to call him my son :) |

Another idea: the mascots could wear special outfits depending on the occasion; on Christmas, Ace is Santa and Vivi and Jeff are elves, and on Halloween, Ace is dressed as a ghost, Vivi's a witch, and Jeff wears a pumpkin head. Those looks could go on the main page, as well as on social media posts. |

I can only imagine what Jeff as a pumpkin would look like.

Ace covers his eye. Ace has an eye? I thought he was just an anthropomorphic multi-colored pyramid person without any facial features. Like Mr Game and Watch |

The Yellow/blue part of the pyramid is his eye. Wasn't aware this hadn't been established on the wiki |

Got another idea: Sockpuppet could show Jeff holding a, well, sockpuppet. |
| Report post
|
Ace is secretly a multicolored Illuminati person Sockpuppet should be Jeff holding a sockpuppet and smashing it into a keyboard (almost like he is letting the Sock type) |

Excellent. And for other occasions:

and Jeff carries a box of chocolates.
Whatever fits the year's theme. Camenati gave the genius idea that for April Fools we change the logo to the AVID logo with Jeff on it (the one from my logo submission...) so I propose we have Ace and Vivi in frog costume (like the Frog Suit from Mario) and Jeff just looking at them confused. and Jeff is a turkey. You should have it so Jeff looks like the NBC peacock (with the tail) but the feathers are thanksgiving colored. Jeff wears a top hat and bowtie Like father like son (because my old pfp was my cartoon character and he had a top hat and bowtie hah) |

Perfect ideas. |

I can't wait for the implementation to occur. :D |

I bet the page would be called AVID:Mascots |

For rules, you should have Vivi holding a pen and writing on a brown sheet of paper (kind of like the Declaration of Independence)
One, you can have Ace holding a painbucket, Vivi holding a paintroller, and Jeff covered in red paint. A reference to the logo Two, same as the Historical Image template but the CLG logo is replaced by the Wikifoundry logo |

Another idea: Draft template shows Ace writing on a paper. |

Here's one for all the Unblock templates except Unblocked itself Unblock reviewed: Ace writes a checkmark on a piece of paper Unblock on hold: Jeff holds an analog clock and looks at it confused Unblock denied: Same as reviewed but the checkmark is replace with an X |

I assume why the mascots haven't been implemented yet is because we're all too busy. |

Ace is already in a few templates. |

I haven't seen him. But whatever, at least I know they've been implemented somewhat. |

He's in the PossibleFake template and adult entertainment logos portal. |

Keep me updated for whenever mascots are added to things ;> |

Here is a idea. We should have some artwork for the AVID: pages. Here are some I came up with If we don't get the Ace and Vivi as cops for Blocked, then they could definitely work for User Reports For Featured Image Nominations, it should be Ace giving the Featured ribbon above to a picture. Community Portal can be Ace standing on a stage (or a crate) talking to a crowd of stickman pictograms Request For Comment could be one of the mascots holding up a picture of a poll. Create a draft and Create a page can both be one of the mascots writing in a book |

Here are some for Forum categories and threads First of all, forum itself should have Ace, Vivi, and Jeff on phones like someone talking in a GC. Now onto the categories General Discussion- Ace, Vivi, and Jeff are in a circle talking (like the intro to the Mario Party games) Administrators' Board - Ace, Vivi and Jeff are sitting at a business meeting table and talking with administrator badges. Editing Help - Ace could be sitting at a school desk with a pencil, paper, and apple and raise his hand The Lounge - Vivi could be laying down on a beanbag on her phone. and lastly, Logo News and Discoveries - Jeff could just be sitting in a gaming chair looking at his desktop screen just in plain udder shock. My idea is that the screen faces from behind but if you have it forward, you can make some little sketch of a rare logo on the screen like the TAT star landing or something |

Maybe we could also put Ace and/or Vivi in the Tutorial Guide. I imagine a scene where Jeff accidentally makes a muddy mess, and they clean it up. |

I also forgot to mention Featured Threads too. I can't find them all so I will go through the ones now. This prob wont happen given the fact that there just threads, but still. If it doesn't end up happening, I got a backup plan: Other featured threads just have Ace holding a phone with an AVID ribbion Warner Media, Discovery to merge. - Ace and Vivi could be each holding a puzzle piece, one with a WM on it in a writing based off the WarnerMedia logo, and another having the Discovery "D and Globe logo. Surprise Logo Discoveries - Same as Logo News & Discoveries. Maybe have Jeff even more shocked. Preparing for a new CLG Wiki - We can have the 3 mascots on a bus with the AVID logo on it and waving at a sign with the CLG logo on it. Implementation of Draft system & Should we ditch nicknames? - The 3 mascots can be lined up and putting a vote inside a ballot box. Unrelated, I know it's not technically a template, but Archive could have a stone statue of Ace |

For the PageCleanup template, we should have Jeff sweeping lilypads |
