So tell me what you think! Do my pictures suck so badly they shouldn't even exist? Or are they good enough for you to want to set it as your desktop background? Leave a comment below!
So, www.scratch.mit.edu always does a funny joke on April Fool's Day. In 2010, they said that posts in their forum costed $0.99. In 2011, they added tons of words to the filter (ex: "you" would be changed to "pikachu"), and everyone's avatar was changed to the rage face. Now, THIS year, they decided to say they were changing their mascot. This was the result: Now, I became a brony (look it up on google) 16 days ago, and I actually liked the so-called "new mascot", Neigh. Of course, everybody was all too attached to Scratch the cat. I was, as well. So, I started a revolution thread saying that BOTH of them should be the site mascots, and with a decent reason. I also said that I would create two logos showing what it could look like if my idea went through. The two following logos I've designed are supposed to depict Scratch the cat and Neigh the pony as best friends. Here's what I created, in honor of the dynamic duo. This first picture on the left is what the icon for the program could be. It actually took me a while to remove both of their bodies, then resize Scratch's head and redraw his outline. I'm going to personally set this as the program's icon... once I figure out how. This other picture shows what the logo could look like on the Scratch website. One mascot is on each side to level it up (Wait, is Neigh... blushing?). This actually has some sort of symbolism. Scratch represents the boys, and Neigh represents the girls. This can work out to say something like "Where boys and girls unite!". I also created a second version of the picture where Neigh's outline is sharper. It took a while to redo the outline, but the result was satisfying enough. Click on the picture above to see the alternate version!

Yes, most definitely!

Yeah. Surprisingly, it took less time to create the program icon than the site logo, and I actually like it more than the logo. I don't think I can make the quality of the icon any better, though.

Good idea. It's a great way to show the equality between boys and girls and luckily, so far, I haven't seen any sexism (judging by gender) on Scratch, but this could discourage it!

Yeah, now if only I could convince the Scratch Team to have Neigh as another co-mascot (Not to replace Gobo, though). Unfortunately, it's been a while since the revolution started and I don't think the Scratch Team wants us to make such a big deal about an April Fool's joke.

Wow everyone, thanks a bunch for all the positive feedback! I should do stuff like this more often. Maybe I should make some sort of Scratch + Neigh animation? Although, I've been super busy working on my other projects as of late...
