Design Process

We’re able to copy an existing mascot or turn your logo or other artwork into a walk around character. What if you have no character artwork or ideas? No problem! Our creative team will develop a brand new character for you and your organization.
Consultation
Learning all about your brand or organization and making note of your requirements and needs are the first steps in designing an effective mascot. We’ll assume nothing. Many questions will be asked to ensure we build a solid understanding of what you are looking for both visually and functionally.
Once a basic knowledge of what you’re looking for is established, our professional artists will begin working on a sketch of the mascot. The sketch will illustrate how the costume will lay out with a performer inside. The completed sketch along with fabric samples of all the materials to be used to create your character will be sent to you for approval. This process is completely free, that’s right, we’ll continue to revise our sketches and work with you at no cost or obligation until you are 100% satisfied.
Final Production
After approval is given, our team moves into production of your mascot. Production time is usually 4-6 weeks from the time we receive your approvals on the sketch and fabric swatches, but we’re also able to do quick turnarounds for special events. We have the largest costume production facility in the industry and unmatched equipment, so you can be sure our team of experts will create the best costume available.
A variety of construction methods and materials are offered. The Mascot Team will help determine the best construction method based on the design and usage of the mascot. Some options are:
- Foam Costume – This type of costume is used for oversized shapes that are typically inanimate objects such as a pizza slice, soda bottle, airplane etc. The costume is created using a dense, lightweight foam. The foam shape is covered with a soft washable material. Airbrushing can be used to give added dimension to the character. All logos and labels are printed in-house – we’re a one-stop shop!
- Vacuum formed ABS plastic heads – This is a lightweight molded plastic used to create a character head. We first sculpt the head and have you approve the sculpture before a permanent mold is created. Large sheets of plastic are placed on top of the mold, heated and then vacuumed formed around the shape of your character’s head. This method creates the most amount of detail in a head and the mold can be used repeatedly to ensure exact duplication for multiple orders.
- The ABS plastic head has a helmet with chinstrap inside for a secure fit. The helmet is installed on adjustable brackets, so it can be moved up or down or on an angle for optimal vision. If the head is very over sized it may include a padded shoulder harness in place of the helmet.
- Lightweight foam heads – These lightweight foam heads are an economical option. We’re able to vacuum form foam over a mold and create a head that’s as light as air! There are elastic straps to hold the head to the performer’s body.
- Feet & shoes – A variety of character feet and shoes are custom created. All of our feet/shoes are made with a hard bottom sole and removable slippers, for easy cleaning.
- Furs – We carry high quality acrylic furs in a vast array of colors and lengths to give you just the look you want.
