The Beth's persona!
Haha it worked!
Okay before I even begin to talk about this persona I have to give a ginormous thankyou to blackestbird for creating her. Without her amazing ideas, this pony would never have come to life. I tweaked and tweaked this pony and blackestbird was never satisfied until I was. Thank you so much!
Alright so here's the idea behind the pony... It's a blend of the things I love. Hockey is one of my biggest passions in life, but I live in a state with 90 degree weather and hurricanes... not frozen ponds and snow storms. Living in Florida has brought me sun and sand and surf, I happen to love the surf the most. I love the carefree feel of tropical islands and sitting out on the ocean perched on my surfboard, waiting to catch a wave. But even more than that- I love my summer trips up to Buffalo where I get to see my family and be surrounded by the hockey atmosphere. I love the energy of going to hockey games with my boyfriend. The game of hockey is a huge part of my life right now, and will play an even larger role in my future. I want to someday work in the NHL somehow, whether I design jerseys or make opening videos, only time will tell. It is the coolest game on earth, if I do say so myself and I love no team more than the Buffalo Sabres.
After giving it some thought, I wanted to name this pony something that described the hot and cold contrast of these two parts of my life. I didn't want to be cheezy and name it Ocean Puck or something like that.
I settled on Tropical Ice... I think I'm happy with this name. Although I'm still open to suggestions.
Anyway, here she is... My lovely pony persona:
And here are the amazing symbols blackestbird made for her:
I absolutely adore these symbols. The hockey sticks sort of bring the tropical element to the Sabres "slug" symbol. The brown gives it all a tiki-ish look, I think.
Here's what blackestbird had to put up with before we got to the final pony:
