When you decide to bring a mascot into your organization, school, business, or festival, one of the first steps you have to take is to decide what you would like the final mascot costume to look like.

Concept Art Custom Mascots

Your mascot is the face of your brand or organization – it has the power to engage and create relationships with your target audience. At BAM Mascots, our definition of quality is a mascot character that is a true reflection of the original artwork brought to life, while still being durable and functional enough to allow your performer to engage and entertain your audience. 

 

With over 25 years of experience in mascot design and manufacturing, and hundreds of mascots in our portfolio, the BAM team has the skills to bring your mascot vision to life!

 

Concept art plays an important role in the process of creating, designing, and eventually building your custom mascot costume. So what exactly is concept art? Concept art is an image, usually a drawing created on a computer, of what the mascot will look like when it is finished. It's important because it gives the mascot designers a visual guide to work from. It also ensures that your vision will match the final product!

At BAM! Mascots, we have a 5 step concept to creation process. A key part is the developing of concept art with each client, to make sure we share a vision of what the mascot will look like.

What is Concept Art at Bam MascotsStep 1 - Creating a concept.

We work with you to come  up with a great concept for a mascot that will bring your idea to life and represent your organization in the best light. Whether you have a drawing already, or have no idea at all which direction you'd like to go, we work with you closely to get you there.

Step 2 - Approval. This is where the concept art really comes into play. We look for your input in revising the concept artwork until you are 100% satisfied.

Step 3 - Building. Once you approve the final concept art, the artwork serves as our guide during the building process. We send progress photos once the build has started, to ensure we are staying on track with the look of the concept drawing.

Step 4 - Photos & final review.  Now that your mascot is completed, we will take some photos. You won't believe how closely the final product mirrors the concept art!

Step 5 - Shipping. We lovingly pack up your newly completed mascot costume and send it over to you. It's amazing to look back at the original concept art and compare it to your new custom designed mascot costume!

 

So whether you have a vague idea, or you know exactly what you want, BAM Mascots will work with you to create concept art that fully embodies the vision you have for your organization's mascot.
