About Pride Shrike 마스코트 디자인

프라이드 슈라이크(Pride Shrike)는 대만 핑둥에서 열린 전국 고등학교 체육대회를 위해 디자인된 마스코트이다. 이 마스코트는 오랫동안 이 도시와 연관되어 온 원숭이 형상을 대신하여, 핑둥현의 상징 새인 노랑때까치를 모티프로 삼았다. 조류학자들의 자문을 거쳐 검은 눈가 무늬, 붉은빛이 도는 상체, 흰 끝동이 있는 꼬리가 정확하게 표현되었다. 마스코트는 그래픽 형태와 입체 형태로 모두 제작되었으며, 널리 사용되는 메신저 애플리케이션용 애니메이션 스티커로도 응용되었다. 이는 스포츠와 개최 지역을 널리 알리는 것을 목표로 한다.

Production Technology: The mascot is drawn in both graphic and 3 dimensional way. For animated stickers, the team created animation in After Effect and generated the animated images with an APNG creation tool such as APNG Assembler.
Design Challenge: Capturing the traits of brown shrike is the most challenging aspect. The team has worked closely with ornithologists to picture the brown shrike. The face is white with the typical black "bandit-mask" through the eyes. The upper part is reddish and the lower parts are yellowish belly withrufousflanks. The tail is redder and tipped in white.
Research: Besides its adorkable appearance and flexible body, Pride Shrike has very distinctive personality. He is a national badminton player, in the senior year of athletic class in National Chao-Chou Senior High School. His favorite snack is Wandan red bean cake and favorite beverage is fresh lemon juice, which are both signature products in Pingtung. His objective is to show the characteristics of the host city. Pride Shrike is an important agent to promote its tourism and economy with local industries and signature products.
Inspiration: The mascot design of Pingtung City has long been monkeys because the old name of Pingtung is "Ahou," which is pronounced similar to "monkey" in Mandarin. In order to break away from stereotyped thinking, the team selected Brown Shrike, the bird of Pingtung County, as an inspiration to give everyone a refreshing impression about Pingtung. In particular, the team collaborated with Endemic Species Research Institute to draw the key features of Brown Shrike in detail.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2019 and finished in December 2019, and the mascot was released and exhibited in January 2020. National High School Athletic Games will be held from July 18 to July 23 in Pingtung, Taiwan. More than 12,000 athletes from other counties and cities will participate in the event.
Operation Flow: It's the first time to promote national games as LINE animated sticker since LINE is the most popular communication software in Taiwan. In order to create stickers with novelty, here are the creative directions:

1. Promoting sports as the main purpose, the sticker of shrike integrated into all kinds of sports to show the strength and beauty of each race.
2. Communicating with young generation, as all the athletes are between 12 to 18 years old, the shrike in the sticker speaks funny buzzwords.
