Should Julia have an unofficial community mascot? If so, which one?

Fair point to raise. I did see the “Dispatch” walkie-talkie idea in the old thread, but I deliberately treated this poll as a shortlist of the more serious creature/animal-like mascot proposals.

My reason is that, to me, a mascot is usually something a bit more personal and relatable — something with some kind of creature-like character — rather than just a clever symbol or visual pun. “Dispatch” is clever, but it strikes me more as a concept/emblem than as a mascot in that sense.

At this point I would prefer not to change the shortlist mid-poll, since that would make the result harder, not easier, to interpret.

The point of the third poll was precisely to detect whether people think a serious candidate is missing. If that turns out to be the case, that is useful information, and it would argue for a later follow-up poll with a revised shortlist rather than changing the current one while voting is already underway.
