I'd think of a simple and elegant caricature of a tall tree (just like git histories tend to get long) with a couple of branches and some cherries (think cherry-pick) hanging around in the lush green crown. Perhaps wearing green gloves and hands on waist, with big dark eyes and a smile. IMHO, it might be a good idea to let the mascot have a simple and minimal design instead of intricate detailing as it would be both easier remember and easier for production. Also, I'm not a _very_ good sketch artist, but I think I can make some basic sketches for this one. Regards, Sidhant
