Introducing Trexy
Trexy our mascot - a cheeky goat who loves making trails - was today positioned on the TrailBar!
Meg worked around some tricky bitmap problems and made some cosmetic changes to Trexy so he still looked good even in a 16px by 16px space. The look and feel for the IE TrailBar is now almost complete! :-)
We spent quite a while coming up with a name for our mascot. It needed to be distinctive and connote a spirit of adventure and discovery. While at the same time paying homage to the source of inspiration for the unique design of the search engine: the Memex and Vannevar Bush's concept of Trails and Trailblazing.
So we coined a distinctive portmanteau word: TRails + MemEX + Y = T R E X Y.
Plus it sounds like 'sexy'.
So there you have it TREXY the goat is our inquisitive, trailblazing mascot!
