I am not sure that it looks "mean/bad-ass" to me.  But there is 
something about the character's smile that might be seen that way.

I think maybe having some text saying that he is "the" mascot for 
LibreOffice would help it.  Using something like "Join me in using 
LibreOffice, the best free office suite around", "LibreOffice is a suite 
deal", or "LibreOffice, liberate your office suite from the big bad MS 
giant", under the mascot would get the message across about what he is 
the mascot for.  Right now people would not know that "Libo" could be 
short for LibreOffice.

I would not mind getting a larger version of this mascot and see about 
making a tee-shirt with an iron-on media.  I would have to get an image 
that is at least 5 or 6 inches across [whatever it would be in 
millimeters or pixels.  Maybe a full page Inkscape .svg document [letter 
or A4] would do as well.  I would use Inkscape to create the document to 
print on the iron-on media.  If it look good, I could see how much it 
would cost to have a few made up at an online company out of New York 
City that does this type of printing and does embroidery as well.  Their 
minimum order is 4 pieces, so it would be easy to get then.

Actually having a tee-shirt would be nice, but having it 
printed/embroidered on a polo-style shirt at the pocket area, maybe 2-3 
inches across, would look more professional for shows and events.  
Larger is not always better, just easier to see from a greater distance.

SO Lucas, would you mind sending me a larger copy of the mascot, but not 
the ones with the background colors.  It would need to be off the list.  
Either "webmaster@krackedpress.com" or "webmaster@libreoffice-na.us" 
would be a good email address to sent it to.  I really like to see what 
I can do with that mascot and some text to make an interesting shirt 
with it.
