Pictures of past MLP Fair mascots?

[Silver Glade]

Hey guys!

I was wondering where I can find pictures of the mascots from previous MLP Fairs, from 2004 to 2009 especially?  All of them would be great though.  The mascot names and their original artists would also be appreciated!  Thanks for any help you can provide!

not sure what you mean; the pony that was released each year at the fair?

The pony who was used to advertise the fair.  The 2005 one was a boy with an Elvis hairdo and a card symbol.

Yes, what Sluggy said.  I can only seem to find the 2007 mascot, Miss Memphis Melody by Teera-Misu -

She was used to advertize the Memphis MLP Fair, of course.

I dont think they did all specifically have mascots - I know the Fair FB page said 2013 was Snuzzle and I guess from her prominence on the logo last year 2012 was Firefly.

2008, 2009, 2011 and 2010 it was Hasbro inspired G3 artwork of the Fair pony which appeared on most merch so I am assuming they were the mascot ponies.

I think the Fair held a mascot design contest that year for the Memphis Fair. In other years, there was no fan designed mascot.

In the last 2 years, Hasbro has given specific artwork to be used as the Fair mascot. 2012 was Firefly, and 2013 was Snuzzle. This artwork is very similar to art that appears on their G1 licensed products (ie new line art, in a G1 style).

I know there were two or three other fan designed mascots - 2005 had a cosmically-themed flutter pony (or another faerie winged type), 2006 had an orange pegasus named Tooley Fog, and either 2004 or 2009 had a cards/gambling themed pony for Las Vegas (less sure about this one).

Well, I've been able to track down the 2005 mascot - it's Constellation by HollowZero.  The art for the San Francisco mascot was called "Tooley Fog Above the Bay" by Fireflower, but I can't seem to locate the art anywhere!  Does anyone know if Fireflower goes by another artist alias, and/or has an art site account (deviantART, etc.)?

I have no idea, but those ponies are gorgeous!  We have some extremely creative people here...  I think having a Fair Mascot each year is a great idea, too.  It gives it a little extra creative kick!

I too would love to see them all...oh they would be pretty on shirts or something
that 2005 constellation wow

Ok so some really old notes and files pulled out. Seriously I forgot I had some of this nonsense referenced.

The mascots for 2008 to now are as I listed above. 2007 as per your image and then...

2006 - Tooley Fog by FireFlower
2005 - Constellation by Hollow Zero
2004 - Vegas Elvis Pony by Cardinal Melody...this pony never seemed to have a name.

And here is a picture of Tooley Fog

Elvis pony had a name... But it's been nearly a decade. I have a shirt with him on it somewhere!

Sweet... thanks for digging through your hard drive, stinkycat!     Yeah, the Elvis pony is the one remaining mystery.  I'm not quite sure if I have ever seen any art for that one.   Take a pic of your shirt, Slug!    J/K!

I find it interesting that the San Fran brony convention BABSCon created such a similar mascot to Tooley Fog.  This is Golden Gates:

No problem And look who I found in an older folder! I don't have his original artwork unfortunately but this is what he looked like although if memory serves his body was brown and his hair black. Hopefully Slug can remember his name and have a more accurate image for you. The notes say that his symbol was 2 facing forward playing cards but it also says "to be confirmed" so I may have that wrong. I would go with Slugs deck of cards...she is going to know much better than me.
