Introduce the cubie

You may have noticed that the banner of cubieboard.org has changed to a little monkey. As the community discussed before on the Cubieboard mascot contest thread, we choose the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey as the mascot of the Cubieboard, which is a special species of monkey in China and is liked by both adults and children in China.

One friend of us, Miss Yueyuan helped design the cartoon of the golden snub-nosed monkey based on the picture took by floridapfe. The little golden snub-nosed monkey has its thumb in its mouth, which is very cute. It reminds me of my 4-months-old daughter, who keeps her thumbs in her mouth too. I like this picture very much, so i asked Miss Yueyuan to design the cartoon based on this eating hand golden snub-nosed monkey.

So here it is:

Once Yueyuan showed me it, i love it. It’s cute, simple, plain, only three colours, no shadows. I hope you guys like it too. Let’s welcome the little cubie that has joined our community!

I also asked Yueyuan to make a few wallpapers for us. The artwork can be downloaded at the Download page, at the Media section. There are wallpapers, logos and banners for downloading.
