I'd nominate Ika Musume, she basically has the color scheme and silliness of mal.

I thought this kaomoji was already MAL's mascot.







It was annoying pulling all three of these dudes out of the official MAL app, though, and adding white outlines so that darkmode users can see him.

Just about anything would do as a new mascot. Even as unappealing and unattractive one could just find a random stock photo of some scary looking obese Western gooner sitting in gaming chair with half naked Anime characters flooding their walls in the background with "MAL" tattooed on their forehead. lol

But I would choose something less offensive like a wacky looking generic "chibi" caricature of the perceived typical Western fan wearing a T-shirt that has "MAL" plastered on the front of it looking like they are bouncing around or even animated by walking across the screen like they are in an Anime generic land ED. lol

A big tittied moeblob with cat ears and generic isekai protag hair who has a crazy ass weapon and wants to bang her brother. I don't know how that last part could be implemented, I'm just trying to cover as many bases as possible.

@AnimeProspect Yeah, I also see it as a young boy dressed in some fancy outfit with a bunch of fancy accesories.

For "MAL-chan" variant, I'd choose a tomboy chibi girl, with relatively short blue hair, wearing shorts and a hoodie.

For animal mascot, I dunno, it's a capybara wearing a baseball hat with MAL symbolics.

Honestly that would be pretty cool! I'm really shocked that MAL doesn't have one. Even the badges we get for our profiles, while cool and all, aren't really anime themed for the most part.

@tchitchouan Nice pick. If something has to be original, keep it a blue hair loli at least.

You mean https://www.catalano.it/?
We also have Catalano on MAL: https://myanimelist.net/profile/Catalano
At this point I believe this is how Catalano actually looks like:

Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!
