Superteam Brazil is the home for Solana builders in Brazil: a community of developers, designers, founders, and creators powering Web3 in Latin America's largest market.Now we need a face for it. We're looking for a designer to create the official Superteam Brazil mascot, an original character that captures who we are: bold, technical, welcoming, and unmistakably Brazilian. This mascot will live everywhere: our website, event stages, merch, social channels, Telegram stickers, and beyond.This is your chance to define the visual identity of an entire community. Design a character that thousands of builders will rally behind.<h2 class="heading-node">What We're Looking For</h2>An original mascot character that becomes the beloved face of Superteam Brazil. Think of the mascots that define communities and products: memorable, expressive, and instantly recognizable.The mascot should be:<ul class="list-node"><li>Original &amp; Memorable: A distinctive character with a clear personality. Something people remember after seeing it once.</li><li>Unmistakably Brazilian: Draw on Brazilian identity, culture, or fauna in a modern, tasteful way. Think contemporary and clever, not tourist-postcard clichés.</li><li>Aligned with Solana &amp; Superteam: Fits naturally within the Solana ecosystem and Superteam brand (purple/gradient accents, clean Web3 aesthetic), while carrying its own Brazilian personality.</li><li>Versatile: Works everywhere: a tiny Telegram sticker, a giant event banner, a profile picture, a t-shirt print. Reads clearly at any size.</li><li>Expressive: Mascot needs range. The character should work across multiple emotions and poses (happy, building, celebrating, thinking, and more).</li><li>Community-Ready: Fun and lovable enough that our community actually wants to use it in chats, posts, and merch.</li></ul>You have full creative freedom on the concept. Whether it's an animal, a creature, an object, or something entirely new - surprise us!What matters is that it's original, expressive, and feels like Brazil.<h2 class="heading-node">Creative Direction</h2>This is merely an open brief, and the concept is yours to invent.
