In 2011, Kazuko Kaneuchi designed a cute little critter for WordPress Japan and Wapuu is now the official mascot character of WordPress.
It’s distributed under the GPLv2 or later and can be modified by anyone to add regional flair or personality. This means that a new Wapuu design can be considered a ‘forked version’ of the original Wapuu as a symbol of the larger WordPress community. Since its introduction, it has taken the WordCamp scene by storm!
We decided it was time Calgary had our own version of Wapuu. So please, allow me to introduce you to (drum roll please!):
White Hat Wapuu!
So can we use it for our widget display? It’s great! Goooo YYC WordCamp, Yahoo!
Yes, please feel free to use White Hat Wapuu 🙂 It’s a cutie that deserves to be shared with the world!
