    Ha, it definitely should be Jeff Probst in tribal attire. I think it should be a cute baby red panda. Something like this.

    HOW CAN YOU NOT DENY THE CUTENESS?!

        Much nicer than the shitty one I thought of; which was just the exclamation mark: !

      I just made this...

      Edit: I must say, I like the general red panda idea. Having a snapping turtle feels a little like making a music video that acts out the lyrics.

      I was sold on the alligator snapping turtle idea, but this might fit the feel of Snapzu better. A snapping turtle is intimidating, but since Snapzu is a friendly, positive, welcoming community, maybe this cute, adorable red panda would work better.

      Edit:

      I'm conflicted now. I just looked up the baby snapping turtle and it's so cute

        Ha, definitely. I also get a sort of Chinese vibe from "Snapzu" and think a Red Panda would be pretty fitting.

        EDIT: The cuteness is killing me.

        EDIT 2: Now I'm spending way too much time watching red panda videos on youtube.

        I agree! We need a cute friendly mascot that can give warm hugs just like our community! :D If someone can create a cute snapping turtle mascot, I'm all in for it! But for now, my vote goes to red panda! :)

      I feel like this one would be pretty great, even though a snapping turtle fits better with the site name, i'd much rather have a red panda as a mascot.

      I like a red panda as much as the next guy, but it's also the mascot of the Mozilla browser - Firefox...which is another name for the red panda.

        We'll just make ours fluffier to distance ourselves! It seems that their logo is a mash-up of a fox and red panda anyways.

        wait i don't get it, ok i am dumb but, why is the firefox mascot a panda i always thought it was a fox!! i am confused.

        EDIT yes i had to use mozilla suport I feel ashamed.

        Damn, can they sue us if our red panda looks nothing like theirs? Or are we going to have to use evolutionary challenged regular panda?

      You just made me want a red panda. -In addition, we could refer to him as Master Shifu.
