GUACA is a fictional mascot inspired by early 2000s aesthetics, designed as if he were part of a lost era universe. He is a scarlet macaw who serves as the symbolic guardian of Auránia, a mountain city shaped by light, nature, and myth.
Rather than portraying a traditional hero, GUACA represents guidance and memory—an iconic figure that feels like part of the stories a place tells itself. His design explores how a single character can maintain identity across multiple applications without losing clarity or personality.
The project focuses on building a cohesive mascot system across key touchpoints: character poses, 360 view, expression sheet, sticker pack, and logo design. Each element was created to reinforce a consistent visual language rooted in bold shapes, vibrant tropical colors, and nostalgia.

Brand Identity Kit: an animated brand showcase template 🌿
I built a 3D-style brand scene that anyone can make their own. The sign, products and palette are all separate named layers, so swapping the images, retyping the text and changing five color fills turns it into a different brand with the same animation.
Best for brand launches, identity presentations and product reveals, whether you’re pitching a client, showing a rebrand or opening a new store.
How I built it: I designed the brand and products as separate layers, then used the @SVGator MCP with an AI assistant to structure the project and animate it, and finished it by hand in the editor.
