Mascot

Missing: the Awk Mascot

Many communities have a mascot, a banner that they proudly wave high. So where's the Awk mascot?

I made on up, but you gotta say, it is kinda lame:

So you have any ideas for such a mascot, please email mail@awk.info with the subject line "suggestion for mascot".

Not to stiffle anyone's creativity but the mascot might be based on the mantra "less, but better" or "easy is not wrong" or "a little awk goes a long way".
