Hannover 2000
When I was working at Bizarts Creative, I was tasked to design a mascot that will be used for the Singapore Exhibition held at Hannover, Germany. The design went through a lot of iterations from a bee, an orangutan, a robot, and later into a lion. The idea was to create a character that would embody Singapore. In the end, we ended up with a lion wearing some sort of hi-tech to costume. The character also had to go through a few costume changes to represent a few sections in a video that I was also tasked to animate.
The final "Singa" design.
"Singa" as a hunter for the Singapore history section of the presentation video.
"Singa" dressed as a tourist for the tourism part of the video.
The proposed bee design representing a typical Singaporean "Busy Bee".
One of the more well known tourist attraction in Singapore at that time was an Orangutan named Ah-Meng. So one of the proposed design was based on her.
The robot design to represent Singapore as a "Hi-Tech" nation.
The initial lion design before it was merged with the robot and became "Singa".
