Brief de Design de Mascotte
Project Overview:
Southern Printing, a full-service print shop on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, is looking for a talented illustrator/designer to create a vintage-inspired mascot for use across our website, packaging, signage, and merchandise.
We’re seeking artwork that captures the spirit of 1950s retro-futurism and industrial Americana — blending the charm of old workshop illustrations with the warmth and professionalism of our modern brand. The design should feel handcrafted, authentic, and timeless — as if pulled straight from a mid-century print shop advertisement.
About Southern Printing:
Founded in 1972, Southern Printing has been a cornerstone of the Mississippi Gulf Coast — serving schools, small businesses, and organizations with screen printing, embroidery, signage, and promotional products. Our brand voice is friendly, professional, and community-minded, with the tagline:
“Quality, Always.”
We’re proud of our Southern heritage and craftsmanship, and we want our mascot and icons to reflect that honest, hardworking energy — approachable, genuine, and built to last.
Design Goals:
We want a design system that communicates:
Craftsmanship & Pride – Skilled, confident, and built on tradition
Southern Hospitality – Friendly, welcoming, and trustworthy
Retro Industrial Aesthetic – Ink textures, halftones, and warm vintage tones
Modern Professionalism – Clean, scalable artwork that fits digital and print

Mises à jour
The mascot does not have to be a man. In fact, it doesn’t even have to be human. Robot, screenprinting squeegee, ink splatter, all are fine. I am open to just about anything as long as it follows my branding and basic thematic elements. It just needs to be fun, memorable and fit our branding.
