    The drawing you did was a good rough idea. I'd maybe try something simpler though? Maybe Just Amy with a cookie, if you want her to be the "face" of the company. Maybe look at other sites, such as Play Asia. They came up with their own anime character as a mascot. Maybe just do an anime character with a cookie and maybe wearing something Gundam-like, to give an idea of what the character is related to. I don't think the Gundam V-like thing on the head is a Gundam exclusive design, so that might work...? I'm just rambling thoughts... hope you figure something out. Love the videos.

I don't know shit about Gundam, I was a Macross kid but maybe something like "Gundam 1st Class" or "Master Grade" or "Mobile Suit Mise" Mise means "shop/store" in Japanese, I just looked it up.
