Creating Pal.
A happy and welcoming mascot for Your Design Pals.
Your Design Pals is a creative collective consisting of three independent designers: Louis Rostro, Parker Anne Poole, and myself. We approach each client professionally and strive to be friendly and welcoming. Pals needed a mascot to embody and reflect our values.
Together we created Pal, A bright and friendly sun who adapts to each use case. We designed Pal to be a visual representation of Pals and the three of us. Pal highlights each of our specialties and helps our clients feel warm and fuzzy.
Meet our Pal,
The Ultimate Friend.
Pal is ready to embrace you with a hug full of infinite warmth.
Along with creating Pal as a concept, we also defined a our own illustration system. Pal is built from reusable, easily modified vector "parts" designed to be flexible. Using vector brushes for things like arms and legs, Pal can be posed into an endless variety of forms.
Flexible Illustration System
All the best parts of Pal
Our bare-sun Pal represents Your Design Pals as a whole and exudes warmth and friendliness.
We designed Pal to be modular with an array of differently posed legs, arms, and facial profiles. With this foundation we are able to apply props and costumes to Pals' many forms.
The three of us each have a version of Pal that represents our specialty skills. Print, Digital/web, and illustration. We also claim a color from our Pals palette.

Pal has evolved over the years to become more optimized for friendliness. But, we think it would be a shame to omit older versions of Pal from view, so here are some of Pals' celebratory looks from his previous versions.
