At the start of this academic year we opened up a competion allowing members to design a mascot for our society.
The rules
We set out the following rules for all applicants.
The mascot needs to be:
-
Between the ages 18-22~ i.e. the same age as a university student
-
Any gender is fine
Desirable but optional features:
-
Colour theme of blue, white, and purple (one, or more of these colours) = these are the colours of the university of Warwick
-
Be an angel (have wings and a halo) = fits with the Anime and Manga Society’s logo which has both features)
-
Have its own name (and a short explanation of why it has such a name) - preferably the name relates to the University or the Warwick area

Entry 1 drawn by Chase Zahfira
Entry 2 drawn by Shen Rong
Entry 3 drawn by Stefan Turcu
The winner
After careful deliberation, the exec team decided that Chase’s entry, “Annie Wicke”, would be the new Society mascot.
The winner was chosen due to its clever use of the society logo, as well as the effective use of colours.And the exec were especially impressed by how the university’s logo colour scheme was implemeted into the design.
The small biography attached also helped in this decision as it added a new dimension to the character.
