Deadline: July 1st, 2009
Bob asks: Who is KINO?
Great question, we should have thought to include that on this page in the first place!
KINO was created in 1997 by an unknown designer. The one and only aGLIFF Mascot over the years, KINO has grown into a loved figure.
Always dressed in an usher’s outfit and carrying his trusty flashlight, KINO is the ambassador of aGLIFF to the international community and continues to this day to be a more recognizable symbol of aGLIFF than the organization’s logo!
But times change, and it’s time to give KINO a little “facelift.” The “refreshed” KINO will be available on a line of t-shirts being sold this year to help support aGLIFF’s many enteratinment and educational programs.
Send Completed Designs to Kino’s Email Address
KINO Requirements:
- Must be dressed in red
- Must look like a movie usher
- Preferably ambiguous in gender
- Must have four fingers (as all cartoons should - not like above with that creepy pinky finger)

- Your KINO redesign featured on a line of fancy t-shirts at aGLIFF22
