Polygon HootWiz Challenge - Visualizing a Connection Through Polygon

Introduction:

Mascots have always been a bridge between diverse cultures, conveying mini-messages that transcend language barriers. As part of the HootWiz Challenge, I present my interpretation of TheOne's work, modified to align with the visual aesthetics of Polygon HUB and its branding guidelines.

Visual Appeal:

The original owl design by TheOne was compelling, but I saw an opportunity to deepen the connection with the Polygon brand. By shifting the owl’s color palette to shades of purple, I incorporated the primary color of Polygon, creating a visual link that reinforces brand identity. The changes to the owl's color also align with Polygon’s futuristic and tech-forward ethos, enhancing the mascot’s appeal within the Polygon ecosystem.

Design Process:

Starting from TheOne’s proposal, I meticulously adjusted the hues and tones, ensuring that the new color scheme not only resonates with Polygon’s brand but also retains the original charm and appeal of HootWiz. The modifications are subtle yet significant, capturing the essence of Polygon while preserving the owl’s inquisitive and wise character.

Conclusion:

This redesigned HootWiz not only stands as a stronger representative for the Polygon community but also serves as a visual bridge, connecting users from various backgrounds under the shared identity of Polygon. I invite the community to engage with this new version, reflecting on how a mascot can unify and represent us all.
