Go mascot

Everyone knows that the best swords have names, and the best programming languages have mascots. Go's mascot is the gopher. The gopher has no name. It has a jelly bean shaped body, microscopic limbs, gigantic eyes, and two teeth. It was designed by Renee French, and its copyright comes under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license. This means that you can play with the images, but you must give credit to their creator, Renee French, wherever they are used.

Renee French gave a talk at GopherCon 2016 in Denver, entitled The Go Gopher: A Character Study, explaining how the gopher came to be, the various mediums and forms it has taken, and the tips on drawing it in various situations (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rw_B4yY69k).
