Hello, meet my Character name is [BOLI].
What started as a simple character sketch became an entire visual world.
For this challenge, I designed an original mascot with its own personality, custom wordmark, signature color palette, and a complete identity system that stays consistent across posters, stickers, packaging, and social media.
The goal wasn't just to create a cute character—it was to build a mascot that feels like it belongs to a real brand and can live across endless applications without losing its identity.
Created entirely in Recraft Studio using Exploration Mode, Vector, and reference workflows to keep every design on-model.

I'd love to hear what you think!

BOLI looks like if a cotton candy got feelings 😭 That pink + green eyes combo is so striking. "Simple sketch to entire visual world" is exactly what a good mascot should do 🔥
Here is a fun graphic design project I just finished for a brand called The Cozy Quill. It is a warm, friendly neighborhood bookstore and cafe meant to feel like a cozy, rainy afternoon.
The main character of the brand is Bramble, a cute little hedgehog who loves reading books and drinking hot tea. He is super easy to recognize because he always wears large round reading glasses and a striped scarf.
The main goal of this project was to prove that one character can be used for all parts of a business without changing his look. I designed him using just three simple colors: dark green, rust brown, and cream.
Here is everything I created to bring his world to life:
Logo & Colors: A friendly, hand-written text logo that matches Bramble's colors.
Packaging: Branded coffee cups and paper bags for the cafe.
Fun Merchandise: Cute die-cut stickers, a canvas tote bag, custom bookmarks, and journals.
Posters & Comics: Art prints of Bramble's treehouse library, event posters, and short comic strips showing him wrapping up books for customers.
No matter where Bramble pops up, he looks exactly like himself every single time!😍 🙌
Cool graphics!!
