Mascot

Wenlock and Mandeville, the mascots of the 2012 Olympic Games

A mascot is any person, animal, or object thought to bring luck, or used to symbolize a group. Many schools and sports teams have a mascot, and so do some corporations or products. For example, the mascot of the Sacramento Kings is a lion, and the mascot of Geico is a gecko.
