Recently, Purple Mash held a competition for students to design its first ever mascot. Thousands of entries were received, through the post and via email, with lots of colourful and creative designs. The 2Simple team were really impressed with the design skills of all our users, and there were lots of fantastic ideas.
Amalia travelled a long way especially to come to the 2Simple office to help the team finalise the mascot's look. She travelled down with her dad, and teacher, Mr Lee, who were both extremely proud of Amalia and her brilliant design.
The day started with Amalia meeting some of the 2Simple team members, including Mo - one of our programmers. Mo showed Amalia how some of the games on Purple Mash are coded.
Amalia also met our Graphic Designer, Brett, and worked with him to tweak the digital version of her design, adding colour to different elements and drawing different expressions for the mascot's face.
Next, Amalia helped the 2Simple marketing team with some merchandise choices. There were lots of options to choose from including keyrings, bags, water bottles, notebooks... and more! Watch this space to see what merchandise the new mascot will be featured on.
For the last part of the day, Amalia presented her mascot to the 2Simple team and answered questions about her design and future ideas for the mascot. Are you ready to meet the mashcot?
