Case Study: The Dutch Grand Prix and its lion mascot
A symphony of triumph echoed through the Dutch Grand Prix on the 27th of August, 2023. While Jack – the Dutch Grand Prix’s Lion mascot created by Promo Bears – hyped up the fans, Max Verstappen claimed the winner’s throne. It has been a real challenge participating in this race due to the pouring rain and red flags. Especially this period of time was Jack’s moment to shine. With its stunning looks and enthusiastic character, he knew how to entertain the crowd while waiting for the race to continue.
About the project | the captain of the orange army
In collaboration with the Dutch Grand Prix, Promo Bears brought a dynamic and unique mascot to life called Jack, adding an extra layer of excitement to the Dutch Grand Prix. After several sketches offered by our design team, the Dutch Grand Prix decided to continue with a lion. Inspired by the Mexican Grand Prix mascot, the lion was requested to visualize the Netherlands and its powerful energy. The mascot needed to be a friend of everyone, a photo magnet for groups of adults as well as for little children. Therefore, it should not have been too fierce or aggressive to be able to connect with children. After discussing the wishes, Promo Bears’ design team created Jack the Lion, featuring orange colors to represent the Dutch Army.
