Prickles, Our Bug Eating Mascot
At Prickly Pear Wildlife Removal and Home Services, we believe in coexistence. We understand that wildlife is an integral part of our ecosystem, and sometimes, their paths and ours simply cross. That’s where we come in. Our company specializes in humane wildlife control, ensuring the safety of both animals and homeowners.
But beyond our services, we are a Texas original company and we wanted our brand and mascot to reflect our Texan Roots and our love for wildlife and our environment! Our logo features a friendly armadillo named Prickles, and his story is intertwined with the very essence of Prickly Pear Wildlife Removal.
Our company was created in Central Texas where the hill country, the south Texas Plains, and the Prairies all meet. This part of Texas has access to the stunning natural beauty and diverse wildlife of hill country, the pristine lakes, and the grasslands to create a remarkably diverse ecosystem.
Armadillos are a common sight here, often ambling across roads or peeking out from under brush piles. These gentle creatures, with their unique armor, wrap up Texas became a source of inspiration for us.
Armadillos, despite their tough exterior, are surprisingly shy and non-confrontational. They spend most of their time burrowing and foraging for insects and worms. This resonated deeply with our company’s philosophy. We believe in resolving wildlife conflicts peacefully, using humane methods to relocate animals without causing them harm. In addition, how great is it to have this cute bug eater as your mascot for pest control service?
Prickles Takes Shape: From Sketch to Symbol
The idea for a mascot came naturally. We wanted a friendly face to represent our company, someone who embodied the values of coexistence and respect for wildlife. Enter Prickles, the armadillo!
Our designer began by sketching various armadillo poses. We wanted Prickles to be approachable and welcoming, not a menacing caricature. We explored different facial expressions, settling on a gentle smile that conveyed kindness and understanding.
Prickles’ body posture was another crucial element. We didn’t want him to appear aggressive or defensive. Instead, we opted for a relaxed stance, perhaps mid-stride as he investigates a situation. This subtle movement hints at his helpful nature, always ready to assist homeowners and animals alike.
Once we landed on the profile shot of our bug eating inspiration, we started adding elements that met our brand. First, our humane wildlife removal uses industry leading products and tools to harden a home represented by Prickles shell. We added spikes to this shell representing the bird spikes commonly used to deter birds from nesting or perching on a build. Then we added a small leaf to the tail as a subtle nod to the eco-friendly approach to pest control and wildlife.
The Colors of Prickly Pear: A Palette Reflecting Nature’s Harmony
Armed with the Image of Prickles, we started working on a name and color palette. After much debate, our name was meticulously chosen as Prickly Pear; the Texas state plant. As our namesake, we selected colors that represented the natural world and the harmonious relationship of nature, but also colors that we found in the prickly pear.
- Oatmeal: It’s often linked to earthy tones and organic materials, giving a sense of grounding and stability. It signifies stability, reliability, and the foundation of our services – a deep understanding of wildlife behavior.
- Cactus Green: This calming green evokes the lush landscapes of the Texas Hill Country and the natural habitats of the animals we assist. It symbolizes growth, balance, and the interconnectedness of all living things.
- Forest Green: Forest green is a color that promotes feelings of peace and tranquility. This deep shade of green has traditionally been used for high-end products and designs, conveying a sense of elegance and refinement.
