For anyone reading this thread and thinking this is "going to kill off Sonic", you're an idiot.

That is all.

Keep in mind that this is intended for any lurkers that may have gone to that article, didn't read it and post a dumb comment.

I like what I see. Namely that they're mostly awful.

Oh, they are. But we already have a clear winner.

Looks like somebody didn't get the memo on not drawing characters that already exist.

Best ones so far. I think the Mega Drive Bat and SEGA Dragon may be my favourites.

Then there's these two:

Maybe if everyone submits forgotten Sonic characters they'll unknowingly pick one and unintentionally catapult them back into fame.

I'd rather submit Segata Sanshiro. There's a mascot who didn't deserve to die when he did.

Sanshiro likely has likeness rights issues with the actor portraying him.

These are adorable and IMO ripe for merchandising. The dragon thing and the bat actually seem like perfect mascots for the vintage collections, too bad they've come a bit too late.

My first thought on seeing that one =P Probably not the best mascot as a result.

I honestly thought there was going to be some official thing where they replaced Sonic with Hatsune Miku as their main branding character... which would make a ton of fucking sense, actually.

Anyway I dislike how a bunch of them are just redesigns of existing mascots, but I do like the 16-Bit Bat.

Sega has proven in recent years that they are trying to go back to basics, I think the next logical choice for the Sega mascot would be this:

I can see this go on T-Shirts, posters, and commercials everywhere. :)

Bumping because today's the last day, if anyone still wants to submit something. Here's mine- http://seiga.nicovid...seiga/im3170147

If when you submit you get an error page, just clear your cache.

I designed Sega a new mascot when I was 14. I'm 32 now.

Here we go, here's Bad Altitude. I wasn't 14 when I drew this, I was 30. I never let go of any of my terrible ideas. ;)


Cool Spot with hair?

It reminds me more of Rayman, except with his face and hair on his body and more of an attitude.

Looks like Worms too

I think the mascot should be Ristar. I kinda like the tiger one, that's the best of all of them.
