This page is a place holder for the OWASP Mascot - Defined OWASP Foundation has a WASP associated with it as a "Bug" hence bug in software. We are looking for a mascot and created this page to work out some artistic suggestions

Option A - Taking this as a baseline, i would suggest adding a keyboard to his hands, giving him traditional geek glasses. When completed it would visualize the associated creature (wasp) and provide for a symbol of the professional community - Tom Brennan

Thoughts?

Option B - Some owasp art work is already in place at the live cd project. We could adapt this. Don't know the original artist.


Psiinon: Mascots tend to be cartoon characters don't they? That would favor ones like Option A.
