Reviews for "The Power of Symbolism: Decoding the Meaning Behind Gordon Mascot's Design"
1. Emily - 2-stars - I was really disappointed with the Gordon mascot. The costume was poorly made and looked nothing like the character from the show. The colors were faded and the material felt cheap. The performer inside the costume didn't seem very enthusiastic and didn't interact much with the kids. Overall, it was a letdown and not worth the money.
2. Mike - 1-star - I would not recommend hiring the Gordon mascot for any event. The costume was in terrible condition with stains and tears all over. It was clear that no effort was put into maintaining it. The performer inside the costume didn't even try to imitate the character's voice or mannerisms. It was a complete waste of money and left the kids disappointed.
3. Sarah - 2-stars - The Gordon mascot was a huge disappointment. The performer inside the costume was rude and unfriendly, not at all engaging with the children. The costume itself was also subpar with visible seams and an overall shoddy appearance. It was evident that little effort was put into making it look presentable. I would not recommend this mascot for any event or party.
4. John - 1-star - The Gordon mascot was a disaster. The costume looked nothing like the character from the show, with incorrect colors and a poor design. It was clear that corners were cut in the construction of the costume. The performer inside lacked enthusiasm and didn't seem to have any knowledge of the character. It was a huge disappointment and I would not hire this mascot again.
