I also like the idea of peacock as its feathers colors shows a nice clusters. Here are few proposals I wanted to share: 1. Dragon (fire, spark, ignite) 2. Peacock (feathers, node clusters) 3. Cheetah (speed, fast) 4. Beluga Whales (echolocation, multicasting) Let me know if you have more suggestions.

Such characters (aka. mascots) can convey the spirit of our project and community as well as make life more entertaining. I bet that every Java developer instantly associates Java (as a project and community) once he/she comes accross Java Duke [1]. Those of us who live in the U.S. know who Geigo Gecko [1] is. What to say about Ronald McDonald [3] is famous worldwide. How do you see the Ignite's mascot? I imagine it as a dragon who is kind and friendly rather than furious and hostile. Our logo is a spark of fire and dragons are those whimsical creatures who are usually associated with fire and flames.
