Last week I was thinking about that LibreOffice is what we call, in
Dutch, the "louse in the fur" of another office suite. Something that
irritates, but you can't get rid of :)
Of course that would need some excellent additional art work, to make it
funny and attractive, but...

For the rest I support comments that the mascot must be not too
detailed, good stylized.

Ah, fun too :)
