Feels like "Beam" would go well with an animal that has glowing bright
eyes (with beams of light shooting out of them), such as a lemur [1]
or an owl.

Yes! Let's have a mascot!
Direct connections often have duplicates. For example in the log

I like a flying squirrel, but Flink already is a squirrel.
Hedgehog? I could not find any source of confusion for this one.

Hi everybody,
I think the idea of creating a Beam mascot has been
brought up a couple times here in the past, but I would
like us to go through with it this time if we are all in
agreement:)
We can brainstorm in this thread what the mascot should
be given Beam’s characteristics and principles. What do
you all think?
For example, I am proposing a beaver as a mascot,
because:
1. Beavers build dams out of logs for streams
2. The name is close to Beam
3. And with the right imagination, you can make a really
cute beaver :D https://imgur.com/gallery/RLo05M9
WDYT? If you don’t like the beaver, what are the other
options that you think could be appropriate? I would
like to invite others to propose ideas and get the
discussions going.
Thanks,
Aizhamal
