One gas station I got my morning coffee from even had large glass bottles of different flavors you could add - good stuff.

The test of a good logo is stripping it of all its embellishments and color and resulting with a logo that is just as recognizable as before.

This newfound interest requires a mascot. A cartoony fellow that I can practice upon and sharpen my animation skills. In this article I will outline how Yoshi, this site’s mascot, came into existence and the steps taken from first draft to the version you currently see gracing this site’s banner.
