I was just commenting on the Thanks Trampt conversation that Trampt needs a mascot. So, I'm here to challenge all members to toss out some ideas and who knows maybe Blake and Keegan will get behind it.

As a serial entrepreneur I love creating new projects, in fact I have dozens of domain names that I've registered just in case I have an idea for them later like hasnoposse.com, suckmyfat.com and my favorite shavedwookie.com. One of these shorter names I happened to come up with was trampt, which in German means hitchhiking.
Years later I came up with the idea of building a site for collecting toys, and looked at all my 'brandable' domains versus using something generic like 'vinyltoysite.com' and Trampt seemed to fit the best. I wish the story was more exciting but apparently the site could have just as easily been called fuckinsweet.com. :)
And after all that ... HELL'S YES we need a mascot. No idea what it would be or how it would evolve but i would love to kickstart a DIY trampt figure this year. I'll bust out the playdough and see where I can set the bar.

How about a silhouette of a hobo, you know holding that stick over his shoulder with a bag hanging from the end of it. And have a paintbrush sticking out of his back pocket. The bag and paint dripping off the brush could have the only color in it.

I think the mascot should be a crazed adult in a onesie (perhaps a bunny onesie--maybe from Blamo Toys) rocking on the floor in his pajamas cradling a designer toy & surrounded by a bunch more art.

I agree it should be a hitchhiker! But, I think it should be the Word Trampt written in different colored Grafiti letters stacked ontop of eachother totem pole style with a hand stuck out waving a hitchhiker thumb. Maybe a baseball cap on the top letter (which would be the head) and hold a vote for what art toy it should be gripping in its other hand.
What do you guys think?

SugarWaterPurple sounds good. just seems hard to fit that much into a small-ish logo. but someone could pull it off. almost 12 years ago
Easily_Amused Thanks! I'm not an artist so I have no clue one way or another. almost 12 years ago
Well now we know the origin of the name, so my first suggestion would be if it's a logo type image or toy I think it should be a hitch hiking charactor or something emulated from that meaning....that's my two cents

Well first thing I would want to know is who's the name "Trampt" came about, then kinda go in that direction to create a mascot. Not sure if a mascot is the right wording cuz the site covers more then just toys so maybe a symbol of sorts to represent all things as a whole.....IDK
