Totally agree on that. Mascots are a must-have for every serious technology.
I nominate @rvagg as the official Node.js mascot
You can have Erik instead.
There is a mascot - the node.js rocket turtle!
Replying with the image because the email comment won't let me attach an image — aw geez.
^^^^^^^^^^
ohmygodilovethat. Like srsly. How long ago was that?
That was like pre-0.5, I think. It's an ancient rocket turtle.
There's also the version used on nodebug.me:
I think the turtle should probably be replaced with the libuv raptor-unicorn..
I think we need to build a bike shed where our turtle and dinosaur mascots can live.
@Qard agreed, and it should be green.
I dunno, the red from the rocket fins seems to project "fast" better than green to me.
The rocket (v8) should rotate, so that the turtle (or the dinosaur) is part of the time upside down. Can we get an animated logo? Just kidding.
Just a general question: So the logo is an animal onto which someone added fireworks. Did someone just say PETA?
Perhaps since the io.js logo was a rocket, and the libuv logo is a dinosaur, the mascot should be an astronaut dinosaur.
@derliebemarcus It's a space travel device, not fireworks.

can i bake printing this into the node binary with a --mascot
flag? ((yes i hope so))
:(
I sent GitHub a support request.
UPDATE: Node.js :sparkles::turtle::rocket::sparkles:
works!
aww yee
:turtle::rocket: 🙌 :grin:
@chrisdickinson +1 for the tortoise and rocket
I do like the proposal of @chrisdickinson, too.
I couldn't resist. https://www.npmjs.com/package/mascot
@Fishrock123 maybe the next best thing to node --mascot
:
npm install -g mascot
node-mascot
:grinning:
It would be awesome if there would be something like a .STL file to have some fun with 3D-Printers or to have the possibility to have a plush nodejs mascot :)
I love this thread so much.
@janaurka that sounds like a great PR opportunity (pun intended)
@jedwatson Could you please just make sure to say it is technically unofficial? Thanks haha :)
@Fishrock123 :+1:
(Close? 😆 )
Well, it’s a bit sad that there is still no mascot but yeah, I think this can be closed.
@janaurka I thought it was the rocket turtle.
As the title says. NodeJS definitely needs a mascot. AFAIK there is none. :(
(It feels like this "bug" is better suited here then in https://github.com/nodejs/node)
