Mascot Redesign
The Problem:
The original mascot was too flat and one dimensional, so the business had moved away from it and created their second version. The second version was too realistic, hindering it from being adaptable to digital media as well as giving him varying expressions.
The Opportunity:
The current mascot was created to blend the previous realistic elements with something more playful and graphic that stayed true to the company’s brand guidelines. This current Don Carrito can be easily adaptable and molded to fit all digital and print media as seen below.
