I honestly don’t understand why they changed him... he was good before. If it’s not broken don’t fix it but even with this change he looks like a CN character and not a good one...
For some reason the new design makes me feel it was supposed to be a knock-off for The Amazing World of Gumball. And can't be just one-time thing? Because on the box of the commercial he still has his old design.
I remember the ad with the jellyfish dude! But I really dislike the new design because he doesn’t really look like the original Tuscan Sam. To me he looks more like one of the Nephews all grown up and the beak, the beak does not look right in the new design. I really like your redesign though, I wish that your redesign the new look instead of the current one.
hey thanks for the support! I've had waves of views/likes on various videos on my channel but just happy anyone is watching - the way I see it, it would be AMAZING if 300 or so people liked my art on twitter, but it's considered low engagement on youtube - it's all relative, and a room with even 100 people in it is a pretty packed room :) I appreciate the kindness!
Yeah, when I saw the new Fruit Loops commercial at first I couldn’t even tell it was one. Toucan Sam was a classic and I wish they never even tried to redesign him. Everywhere I look now everything is getting redesigned and “better” as if the old ones weren’t good enough.
Wow, this was super interesting as someone who doesn’t really know anything about the history of mascots. I’ll definitely be binging the other videos in this series, haha. I enjoyed your redesign, and personally don’t really know how I feel about the official redesign. In any case, great video as always (:
I'm working on a new mascot snapshot video and all I gotta say is what was I thinking with the myspace angle of the shots of me??? will be rethinking my angles in future videos lmao. If you're reading this, let me know what mascots YOU'D like to see a video about!
I've been meaning to watch this video for a while, and I'm glad I finally did. Sam's easily one of my all time favorite mascots, he's just a classic along with Tony the Tiger. You did an excellent job on your own redesign too! 👍 WAAAAY better than the actual redesign, yowza. 😬🙃 I'll have to check out all the other Mascot Snapshot videos now! 😁
Oh yeah, I definitely think you did a better job with shapes and functionality of Sam's design. I will say, for the design they used for the commercial, I actually really like how vibrant he looks. So, personally, I would love to see that color palette on your interpretation of the design.
yeah, i really dislike the mouth + eyes too-i think i would love (or at least like) the design if they changed both of those to something less... harsh.
I do have the same thoughts. I feel like they could’ve made it less amazed about everything, put the mouth in the beak and make him a darker shade of blue...and more toucan anatomy. Like how you did it
when i first saw the redesign i instantly though "NOOOOOO" but looking at it now, i only really disagree with the way eyes and mouth look, as well as the pale blues in the head and upper body. the gradient in his beak is actually very appealing, and is a nice evolution from his previous design. but as you said, the eyes are way too excited. and i prefer animated bird characters to have their mouths fully integrated into the beak. i'd say give his eyes a gentler look, and put his mouth back into place, and you've got a really nice design for an iconic character
I just ate froot loops this morning! But thats besides the point, i feel like im the only one who likes the new toucan sam. Yes hes not the same, but i think hes cute!
I recently saw an ad with classic Toucan Sam, so who knows? Maybe they're stepping back? Anyone else gotten one? Also, I still love 80s stuff! Always will! Who's with me? #80sclub X)
I do really like the rest of the commercial but Sam...seems out of place. I don't like how babyfied the new Sam looks or the way they used flat character design... like, I like the idea of the gradient and how you mentioned it could be a 90's nostalgia design thing, but with the bad side mouth it looks very flat and maybe because more of his body looks and moves dimensional compared to his head it's weird. Your Sam looks really good! It also seems to use flat design but it looks more consistent and cool and I like how the vibe feels similar to Vega's original design but updated.
I think the new design would be a bit better if it didn't look like a ripoff of modern CN cartoons. Copying the look of popular kid's shows kind of reads as a desperate attempt to be hip and cool. Lucky Charms did the same thing a few years ago with their knock-off Adventure Time Lucky, and I'm super glad they changed him back.
I find there forgetting people that could have seizers from this type of stuff. and it looks like its been made by someone who is high as a kite .. its messed up . and what if it does cause seizers on kids. to much hard in the eyes..
Why change him you know? He was already popular and a lot of people loved the design. But i think they are changing for each “generation” . i love your art by the way.

His mouth... is on the side of his beak....
Someone didn't appeared at bird anatomy class...

i miss the old tocan sam the last version was my childhood
Yeah, I always loved Toucan Sam, but I'm with everyone else. His redesign is not the best.

Geez, this channel needs way more recognition! It’s amazing art that not enough people see!

@@AlyssaErin I think the 2d toucan Sam design looks cute and adorable.

This video is just a joy to watch from start to finish!!!! Really amazing work and I can’t wait to see more from you!!!!

Love these mascot videos. Keep 'em coming!
I love this! Amazing artwork as always

I love your interpretation! And that jellyfish pencil test! Lol we need like a 1 hour cut of those baby birds playing the horn and triangle haha

The gradients give me "Graphic designs is my passion" vives, they just need to make the lettering in comic sans to complete the look.

I love these videos, you should make one of tony the tiger.

is very kawaii
Have you seen the latest Froot Loops commercials

Fruit Loops had actual fruit juice in it at some point? Wow
Your making me hungry
You should do tony the tiger
Just why does he have a mouth? He is a toucan!
*i’m scared i hate it here the beak is no.*
I find there forgetting people that could have seizers from this type of stuff. and it looks like its been made by someone who is high as a kite .. its messed up . and what if it does cause seizers on kids. to much hard in the eyes..
Why change him you know? He was already popular and a lot of people loved the design. But i think they are changing for each “generation” . i love your art by the way.
If it ain’t broke... 😔
To be honest, his design was a bit too.. bright, for me. And that beak.. how does that even work?
With the official new design The body style looks ok to me, but the beak colors look like rainbow barf and it ruins the design for me
The new one looks like a New PPG character, and that isnt a good thing.
looks like someone's been listening to ya

(sort of)
I hate his redesign.
Horrible design
