Well it obviously needs to be a cutesy protractor doesn't it? Kinda like a Clippy but more like a protractor. That's where it all started. |

1️⃣ looks more fun |

I like 1️⃣ bacause the helmet nicely resembles the Angular logo. Also, more people identify with a human than with an animal. Idea for the name: The old German(ic) name "Helmut" because it sounds similar to "helmet" in English. |

I vote 1️⃣, because the others would remind me of what a real anglerfish looks like (you're right, I shouldn't have looked). |

1️⃣ of course. |

I prefer option 1️⃣ because I wouldn't associate Angular with fish or other maritime (rather blue) things. Since the Angular logo resembles a shield, it might suggest a superhero figure. |

Just saw the picture of the real anglerfish ... it exactly looks like I felt after debugging a timezone issue ... |

None of these look like a serious framework suitable for enterprise. |

1️⃣'s helmet implies safety. It's also unique and memorable. Probably the best choice. ...Though if Angular wasn't currently in the middle of replacing Observables with Signals, I would actually prefer the anglerfish variations. RxJS is an eel. There would be some really great opportunities to create art of both characters together for blog posts. |

Hello everyone, Thank you for your feedback, suggestions and comments on the upcoming Angular mascot. We've gathered your feedback and will be reviewing it as we work with our design team to create something we hope the community will love. Be on the lookout for updates on Angular's social media channels for our announcement of the official Angular mascot design. Thank you, |

Authors: Mark Thompson Minko Gechev
Angular is a framework with a large and diverse community and wide recognition. In the state of JavaScript Angular ranked number one in the awareness category. Unlike many other prominent open-source projects and technologies (e.g., Go's Gopher, Linux's Tux, PHP's ElePHPant, Rust's Ferris the Crab), Angular currently lacks an official mascot.
Over the years we’ve received many requests from people asking for a mascot they can use as a plushy or put on a keychain, so we decided to explore the space!
We got in touch with the people who developed the mascots for Dart and Firebase. We shared with them Angular’s strengths, history, and stories that gave them a grasp of our community’s culture. Incorporating our latest design, they developed a series of mascot proposals that our team members (and their kids) filtered down to three.
A key value of Angular is to be inclusive and make community-driven decisions, so we’d like to kick off a process to create our official mascot! We can use the three initial mascots as a starting point, but we’re open to any variation or community proposal.
Reflecting back to past RFCs, we made a lot of great design choices thanks to community feedback, such as the latest control flow syntax, for example. Let’s do the same with Angular’s future mascot 🙂
Goals
Non-Goals
Proposal 1️⃣ - Angular shaped character
Variations of shaped characters that pull inspiration from Angular’s logo.
These little sprites are abstract, sharp, and helpful.
Proposal 2️⃣ - Anglerfish
The Anglerfish conjures bright ideas from their luminescent antenna- almost representing a lightbulb!
This sea creature dates back to about 130-100 million years ago making them wise, adaptable, and resilient.
Yes, we know the real life Anglerfish looks horrifying but our twist of it is certainly cute! Don't click on this photo of a real life anglerfish...we warned you.
Proposal 3️⃣ - Anglerfish variation

Other questions that we’d love to hear from you:
We’re pretty excited to create the mascot together! Just a reminder that this RFC, just like any other discussion on GitHub, is under the Angular code of conduct. Please, make sure it’s inclusive and appropriate.
Next steps
After we collect a sufficient amount of feedback, we’ll close the RFC and pass it to our designers. We’ll iterate on the final concept and share an update within a couple of months!
