How about a representative from someone living in the Eastside?

Given the genius that went behind our Olympic logo, I do not have much hope for our future mascot. Maybe this time we could use art from a Native group actually from Vancouver, like the Haida. A thunderbird mascot would be pretty cool. Or, heck, why not an entire totem pole?

Hey right, they’ve plastered all those tacky bears around the city. You know…the ones where they’re decorated individually by one artist. (Sorry if any of your readers are actually one of them who painted one of those monstrous art pieces). I’ve seen some monstrous whale ones too. I don’t think I’d mind a bear. Whale…overkill with that symbol already, IMO.

Yeah my guess would probably be some sort of bear? Maybe they can re-use the Super Grizz costume.

Maybe it will be a Coho salmon standing on its fins. (Shiver.) Jack and the Expo guy are pretty darn adorable but “taken” so you are left in the realm of bears, birds, fish, and rocks. I agree that it’d be hard to top the Friendlies – China did a great job with them despite, I might add, them not being an anime/cute characters powerhouse.
